This ingredient list for this 4 bean chili is simple, and preparation couldn’t be quicker. Â Four kinds of beans mean a protein power-punch in every serving. Â Not a fan of pinto beans? Â Can’t stand cannellini? Â You can easily substitute more of one kind of bean for the one(s) you don’t like.
Some vegetarians do not eat traditional Worcestershire sauce because it contains anchovies. Â While vegan Worcestershire sauce is available, if you can’t find any feel free to substitute soy sauce or balsamic vinegar, or just leave it out altogether.
Making this vegan is easy peasy, just leave out the cheese or substitute a vegan cheese instead.
