Super easy and just the ticket for a busy, snowy day. I did have to kick up the spices a bit by adding about 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder and cumin, also little molasses, something my mom taught me and then reduced the butter to about 1.5 tablespoons. Tasty and really filling. My DH loved this and is looking forward to taking the leftovers to work. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

We really enjoyed this chili. And it wasn't too spicy hot, so even my little kids were happy. It was tasty and quite a full meal with the macaroni noodles. I will probably do as another reviewer suggested though and add a bit of cayenne when I want a bit of "kick" when making this. But it's a good vegetarian chili that I know I'll make again. Thanks for sharing your recipe, weekend cooker.

Makes a great big crock of chili once you get the noodles in there! This is a good 'needing something filling in a jiffy' type of recipe and I often have everything to make it on hand. I threw in a good sprinkling of cayenne. I did not add additional butter to this. The only thing was that after I added the noodles, they seemed to suck up all the liquid, so it was really more like a casserole and less like chili - but it tasted great, nonetheless!
