Vegan Combo Beef Sausage Chili is satisfying comfort food. Deep and rich in flavor with lots of beans, tomatoes and spices.
Vegan Combo “Beef Sausage” Chili is a special recipe to help satisfy your spicy needs and to warm you up in the chilly weather. We live in the desert so we don’t often get to have soups and chilies that help warm you up from the inside out. I mean, we’re usually already warm.
But the day has come where the chill (ice) is in the air and soups, stews and chilies are a common occurrence. I have a couple of favorite plant based fillings that I occasionally use and this recipe handles them both. It’s a very hearty meal.
There are so many varieties of chillies out there. In restaurants, and I’m sure even in your own home repertoire. I have six chili recipes on my site alone and they are all special in their own way. One of my most popular recipe is White Bean Chili. Oh my gosh! You’ve got to try that one too.
All is takes is one large skillet and you have a hearty meal for any night of the week. In case you don’t need to feed a family of 6 this recipe freezes beautifully. So it may even be enough for a second night. Especially if you add a big crusty loaf of bread and a nice crisp salad.
Vegan Combo Beef Sausage Chili is also a recipe that even your omnivores will love. It’s been all dolled up for all of us. Deep and rich in flavor with lots of texture, beans, tomatoes and spices.

Ha! How dare those neighbors leave when you need a beer! I am so glad your family loved it! It makes me feel so good to hear these things. Thanks! 🙂
Lauren says
Excellent! Made this tonight and the family loved it. I didn’t have any beer (and the neighbors weren’t home to borrow any) so I subbed in a cup of beefless beef stock. Next time I’ll try it with the beer. Thank you for the great recipe!

Yum! I’ve been wanting to make chili for awhile now. The Florida heat has prevented me from making it as well, but this looks delicious. I love how you used faux meats and beer. I bet they add a lot of flavor to the chili. I’m going to have to try this. 🙂
