Thinking about making this…could I freeze some portions?
Next time I will saute the tempeh in with the onions,peppers, garlic and spices so it can absorb the combined flavors. Tempeh is a little on the bland side and needs a little booster.
Absolutely fantastic recipe!! I used smoked paprika instead of regular and I think that paired so well with the tempeh! Can’t recommend this enough! It says it makes 6 portions – I did the math and that’s about 202 calories per serving. One serving is a bit small, so I divided it out into 4.5 servings and served with warm bread.
I know it makes six cups, but what would one serving be? Would it be one cup?
Hi Rachel, we all hope your healing process is coming along. Just want to mention again that my husband loves all your recipes. I make two different meals. I’m a vegetarian and my husband likes to get into all your recipes. I’m sooo happy for this. I’m thrilled with your chili recipe, thank you and others that I eat. Your the best.

What are the nutrition numbers on this dish
This was amazing! Be sure to let it simmer for the 30-40 mins at the end – the flavors get more intense. I was pleasantly surprised.
Could you do this in slow cooker?
Tempeh can be a pain to acquire in my area. Was wondering if I used an extra firm tofu if the results would be the same?
I have made this with extra firm tofu and it was still delish! I found it best to bake the tofu first – slice into 1/2 thick slices, bake 350 for 15 then flip, repeat.
I’ve made this a couple of times…easy, fast and VERY good. I added a garlic tempeh. 5 stars!!
Excellent flavor. Swapped out kidney beans for black beans (personal preference).
