Serving Tips:
Our Vegetarian Black Bean Chili has a hint of cinnamon that invites you to take a taste - no matter what you think of black beans! Once you taste it the crunchy-sweet carrots get some attention. Then there's plenty of savory spices, celery, onions and tomato to round out the flavor. Some of our tasters weren't too sure about the dish at first - but once they took a bite they wanted seconds! It's great in a big bowl topped with cheese or as a side (maybe with a hot dog or grilled chicken) or even a scoop served chilled on top of a salad with whole wheat chips! YUM!

Additional Tips
Can be served as meal, side dish, or blended for black bean dip.
