A Tasty and Satisfying Meatless Chili Choice
Hormel Vegetarian Chili with Beans is one of those pantry staples that never disappoints. The flavor is rich and hearty, with just the right amount of seasoning to make it satisfying on its own or as an ingredient in chili dogs, nachos, baked potatoes, or casseroles. The texture is balanced—plenty of beans with a robust, chili-style sauce that feels just as comforting as traditional chili. What I appreciate most is how convenient it is. Whether I'm looking for a quick lunch or need something reliable to add to a recipe, it delivers every time. It's a great option for vegetarians and for anyone who wants a flavorful, protein-packed meal without the prep work. Overall, it's a dependable, tasty choice that fits easily into a busy schedule. I am a Hormel Employee.

Not bad, but wouldn't be my first choice for a canned Chili
The chili itself had a good traditional chili flavor and appearance, but it had a taste that I could not identify and did not care for. I am a Hormel Foods Employee.

Good for no meat
This vegetarian chili was loaded with beans. It had good flavor. The base of the chili had a tomato sauce-like consistency. I would have liked to see more vegetarian crumbles in the chili to give it more of a meat-like consistency. I am a Hormel Foods Employee.

Solid Vegetarian Chili
We paired with veg hotdogs to make chili cheese dogs. Very good. A little heavy on the chili powder was only criticism. Best veg chili we've had recently. I am a Hormel Foods Employee.

This chili is very flavorful!
This chili was very flavorful and had a little spice to it, which I preferred. It also has a 19g of protein even though it's vegetarian because of the beans! It was also very convenient and easy to eat

This product was used on french fries to create chili cheese fries. The small amount of spice in this created great flavor using it in this manner. I am a Hormel Employee.

Yes, I'd buy product
The chili had great flavor. I made chili fries for lunch, with Sweet potato fries, added cheese, avocado and sour cream. It was a delicious treat for lunch. "I am a HORMEL Employee"

This product was a good balance of spice and texture.

Quick Meatless Meal!
What a day! I needed something quick and filling. Cooking for two isn't always easy but Hormel Chili to the rescue! One and a half cups of cooked pasta, a can of chili, and shredded cheddar cheese fit the bill. (Heart shaped pasta, no less, to make it EXTRA comfort food!). He just mixed and microwaved and we were cozied up with dinner in less than 15 minutes! (Proud to say…) I'm a Hormel Employee.

I love Hormel Vegetarian Chili With Beans!
Hormel Vegetarian with Beans Chili has quickly become one of my go‑to pantry staples. It's hearty, flavorful, and incredibly versatile, whether I'm using it as a topping, mixing it into a recipe, or enjoying it on its own. What I appreciate most is how satisfying it is without needing any meat. The beans are tender, the seasoning is well-balanced, and it heats up perfectly every time, making it a fast, reliable meal option on busy days. For this meal, I served the chili over warm rice and finished it with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar. Simple, delicious, and ready in minutes. The texture and flavor really shine when paired with something as basic as rice. If you're looking for a great vegetarian chili that doesn't sacrifice taste or heartiness, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I am a Hormel Employee.

It might be great for a vegetarian chili
The chili just seemed to be missing something (probably meat). A little bit too much heat for me. I am a Hormel Foods employee.

I would buy this again. It was good but not my favorite.
This has a bit of spice to it and paired up great as chili cheese fries.

THAT IS NOT MEAT
You guys, read the ingredients. The meat everyone thinks they are seeing is a soy product - Texturized Vegetable Protein (TVP) - not meat. Ai yi yi. If you’re ok with meat substitutes this is a good option.
