This Instant Pot Vegan Chili is the BEST vegan chili recipe you will eat or need this year! It’s so EASY to make, uses only a few simple ingredients, and is ready in no time at all. Guaranteed to satisfy vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters.
Chili is an absolute must for me this time of year when the temperature falls. It’s comforting, warming, satisfying and perfect for watching football. I REALLY love chili! I’ve loved it for a long time.
And, when I’m ready for a bowl of this ultimate vegan chili I want it now! Not last night. Not next week. NOW! And, no vegan chili slow cooker style. Ain’t nobody got time for that. God gave us Instant Pots for a reason.
So, let’s stop wasting time and get to making the best vegan chili recipe EVER! (at least I think it is)
Let me just say, before we get started, one of the things I love most about this Instant Pot Vegan Chili is its no “meat” texture. No tofu. No soy curls. And, no added oils or any other processed ingredients. It doesn’t need any of those things. This vegetarian chili recipe stands tall and doesn’t need any extra help. Now, let’s make it.
How To Make Instant Pot Vegan Chili
This meatless chili recipe is a freaking masterpiece…if I do say so myself. And, it’s also super simple. So, if you’ve been looking for a recipe for vegetarian chili that will satisfy a lot of people you can finally rest easy. You found it.
Start by hitting the sautee function on your Instant Pot pressure cooker. When it’s ready add your onions, garlic, chipotle pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano.
Stir it all together and make sure the onions and garlic are covered. Let it all toast together for just a couple of minutes. This is how chili gets its flavor. If you’re worrie about the food sticking ou can add a couple of tablespoons of water or vegetable broth.
Now, add your red kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, and maple syrup. Give everything a good stir to make sure it’s well combined. Lock the lid of your Instant Pot and set the timer to 5 minutes. Yes, 5 minutes.
When time is up, do a "quick release" by turning the release valve to "venting" and removing the lid. That’s it! Instant Pot Vegan Chili.
Can You Freeze Vegan Chili
Yes, absolutely! You can store this Vegan Instant Pot Chili in your freezer for up to a month.
How Long Will Instant Pot Vegan Chili Last In The Fridge
This easy vegan chili can be stored in the fridge for 3 days. Personally, I like to let it sit in the refrigerator overnight after making it. The flavors seem to meld together very nicely.

We really enjoyed the chili! We used tomatoes and peppers from last summer’s garden, and subbed zucchini for the onions and garlic. Also toned down some of the spiciness (sensitivities during immunotherapy).
I always make this in a stew pot and it turns out just as delicious. Thank you . This is the best chili recipe I’ve found!
That chili! Best darn chili ever!!! I added some leftover seitan meant for a pulled “pork” style BBQ dish and asses it to your recipe. Great “pump and dump” healthy recipe when study and work demands means one tight on time and budget. With the food inflation these days most people are seeing bills triple but this recipe is tasty, budget friendly and healthy! Thank you!!!!
Our go to chili; I use 1 1/2 dates blended into some of the sauce, and sub this for the maple syrup.
Easy, peasy chili! Perfect for our last minute baked potato topping! I used 1 can black beans, 1 can dark red kidney beans, and 1 can pinto beans, with the fire-roasted tomatoes. I was a little extra (as in, not exact measurements, of the seasonings. Tasted great!
Shane, I made your IP chili tonight. SOOOOOO delicious. I didn’t have the chipotle in adobo sauce, so I subbed chipotle powder. I also had some leftover TVP, so I threw that right into my bowl. This is the first time I’ve ever commented on a recipe. It’s that good. Thank you!
I’m making this now. How much of the adobo sauce should you use if you want mild, but not 7 alarm chili? Thanks!
I would say 1 tsp. or leave it out altogether.
This is the best chili recipe and so quick. My husband loves it, but I do add 1/2 pound of ground beef or it’s not chili to him.
I made this on a Sunday afternoon and let it sit until Monday and it did not disappoint!! The flavors were so delicious!! This is going on our monthly menu rotation. I love it 🤤
Thanks Shane 👍
Thank you!
for those that come after. we had no way of knowing that the easiest chili would also be the best chili. forgive us
This turned out GREAT! I needed a fast recipe to bring in to work for a potluck meal and I was nervous about bringing something I hadn’t previously made before. But I have never gotten to many compliments before, and three colleagues asked me for the recipe. Changes I made: I didn’t cook the onion before hand, just threw it in with everything all at once; I substituted the chipotle pepper in sauce for 2 tsp of chipotle chili powder; I used the flesh of 2 jalapeños (no seeds). Will add this recipe to our rotation. I’m going to try your Chipea Curry next! Thank you!
I love your recipes Shane, including this one. Is there a way to make this with a little less heat? Should I add less chili powder, less smoked paprika, or use regular paprika instead of smoked?
Thank you so much! Leave out the chipotle pepper in adobo – it will cut down on the heat.
This is insanely good! Have made it multiple times since discovering it recently. I love the flavor profile and the wee bit of zing from the chipotle in adobo. If I want to bulk it up, I sometimes throw in a couple ribs of diced celery, couple diced carrots and/or a cup of frozen corn too. To thicken it a bit, I also add a smidge of flour as has been suggested in the comments. Definite keeper!!! Thank you, Shane!
This recipe is the chili recipe gem I’d been searching for! I make it exactly as the recipe indicates and everyone that has tried it loves it as much as I do. Thank you so much. This recipe has become my go-to chili recipe staple for years. We love to garnish ours with fresh avocado slices, (I like cilantro or green onions too) and eat it with tortilla strips. The slight hint of spice and smokiness and the simplicity of ingredients combined with the super-fast cooking time in the Instant Pot make this recipe a winner for our family. Delicious, fast, easy, and vegan. Perfection! Thanks again!
Very Tasty but was like a soup not a chilli bowl followed your recipe but was very liquid.
Over all great meal had with sourdough toast.
Winter where I am so Soup was good for cold night.
Thanks so much for the feedback. If you want a thicker chili there’s a couple of things you can do: 1) Reduce the liquid 2) Add 2-3 Tbsp of flour. And, yes, I agree, it rocks with sourdough toast:)
This recipe is SOOO yummy! I was worried the Chipotle pepper would make it spicy. My husband doesn’t like heat. But the seasoning was perfect! Not spicy, but smoky. This was so good and so easy to make. We will be having this on repeat! Thanks so much! Would love to give this five stars, but the comments section isn’t allowing it.
Hi, Tami! Thank you so much and love the feedback. You can rate it at the top of the recipe card now. You should be able to just click the stars. Thanks again!!!
Wowie-Zowie! This chili is fantastic! I cut recipe in half and used a 3 quart Instant Pot; the fixin’s came right to the max line and the pot handled it with no protest. The only thing I changed was adding 6 oz of chopped, fresh mushrooms that needed to be eaten soon. Rather than have 1/2 a can of beans left over, I fudged the “cut exactly in half” and used 1 can kidney beans and 1 can black beans; then the mushrooms took the place of the half a can of beans I omitted. To use up the remaining adobo chilis, I divided them into an old ice cube tray and froze 1 with some sauce in each compartment. That way I can just plop 1 cube in the pot when I make this SO MANY TIMES in the future! Thanks for this KEEPER recipe and I’m excited to explore your site more. I am a resurrected vegan – fell away from this healthy way of eating for several years – newly recommitted and loving it.
I see this being a staple during my camper van travels (pot luck anyone?) as well as at home base and I can’t wait to turn others on to it!
Wow, what a great review! Thank you so much!!!
We have been looking so hard for the perfect chili recipe and this is what we have been looking for. Since there is just two of us I only made half a recipe. We loved it so much we fought over the end of the pot! Thanks Shane for another perfect recipe!
[email protected]
I was eating the Chili when a set of recipes arrived in my email on this cold, rainy evening. It just hit the spot. Very tasty, and I will make again soon. It was just a bit too much heat for me so I need to cut back on something. Next time I will also have Shane’s cornbread to go along with this delicious Chili.
I made last week! Fast, easy, and SO delicious!!
Made this today for my lunches this week. It’s delicious! Going into my regular rotation. Thank you 😊
Made it tonight and loved it! My non-vegan hubby loved it too! Didn’t need to add salt. Made exactly as directed except I didn’t have the chipotle pepper so I substituted some chipotle spice. This is so easy and quick—will definitely make again. Thanks so much!
Any chance of this chili being cooked in a slow cooker?
Don’t want to buy a pressure cooker/insta pot.
Thanks
Absolutely! Just add all of the ingredients and set it to cook for at least 6 hours. It allows the flavors to really meld together.
I think this recipe can be done in a slow cooker with some small changes. I suggest sauting the onions, garlic and pepper in a pan for 5 minutes and then adding all ingredients to a slow cooker. Cut the vegetable broth in half. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
Thanks, Dan! Love this kind of feedback and seeing people help the community.
Stumbled across this recipe while trying to find a quick and easy chili for my vegetarian daughter. This exceeded my expectations on every level. Quick, very delicious, inexpensive, and hearty. I did toss in a little chopped celery that would otherwise have gone south on me, but otherwise went with the recipe as written (though divided in Half to serve just 3, and that fit in my very small instant pot).
Valerie, that’s so great! Thank you for reaching out.
So so good! Perfect spices and heat. I did add some meatless crumbles (Noble Plate), mushroom powder – to bring out an earthiness to the chili and some worcestershire sauce. First time I’ve put chili peppers with adobo sauce, and yes just use one there are like 6 to those little cans, if you want more heat that’s where you’ll find it. Shane your recipes have been so delicious – I may have to end up trying all of them!
Thank you so much for the kind words. So glad you enjoyed the chili. Blessings.
Quick question! What size instant pot is this recipe intended for? I just want to be sure I get the measurements right before I try it!
It’s the 6-quart I believe. But, should work in any size but the tiny one.
Made this tonight, and It is delicious! This is definitely going to be my “go to” chili recipe from now on. It’s easy to make, adaptable, and so flavorful! Thank you for another winner! I love your recipes.
I had almost despaired of finding WFPB SIMPLE recipes until I found your site! Thank you SO much for all of the work you do making regular food WFPB and non oil!! Unfortunately the majority of vegan recipes on many sites regularly have 15 -20 ingredients, and the reviews complain of bland tastes or of ingredients that you need to scale Mt Everest to find! The chili recipe was perfect just as written! It had the exact amount of heat, and I am eager to try the rest of your recipes. I will chime in 100% with everyone else needing doable recipes that are easy to prepare, are tasty, and easy to shop for locally. Your site fills a VERY definite need – keep it up!!
Sandie, that is so very kind and I appreciate your encouragement more than you know. Please never hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments. Blessings and peace.
Shane – is there a substitute for the chipotle pepper? ThankYou!
You could leave it out. It’s more for flavor and heat. Some people don’t like the heat.
Ok, Shane…I love chili, but I know when we have a chili contest at our church, it’s all about who can get it the hottest! I don’t mind a little kick, but definitely want to be able to eat it and taste the flavors and not just have my tongue on fire, lol
(For instance, I usually make a double batch of your sausage patties so I can leave out some of the e cayenne on mine 😜)
So , how do you think this compares in the heat category? Maybe rated on a 1-5 scale?
I tend to like spicy but I would say this is a 2.
I can handle a 2 🙂
Has become a favorite. But what is the Serving Size for the Nutritional content listed? Thank you Shane.
1 cup.
Thank you Shane
My pleasure. Blessings.
Making this as we speak, but question: whenever I put tomatoes in my Instant Pot, everything sticks and the warning beep goes off…. what is the secret please Shane?
You shouldn’t have a problem with that happening in this recipe if you follow the order laid out in the recipe. Let me know how it turns out.
Just wondering if I started from dried beans, if you’d cook the recipe with dried for the time suggested for kidney beans (28 min) or cook the beans prior and then make as per recipe? I have soooooo many Rancho Gordo beans. Lol! This chili looks amazing!
I would cook the beans first then add them to the chili recipe.
I don’t have an Instant Pot. Can this just be made on the stove by heating up all the ingredients? Any changes need to be made w/o an IP??? Looks and sounds delicious and everyone’s comments have me anxious to try this!!!
Hi, Claire! You can totally make this on the stove. Just follow the same instructions and let it cook/simmer for about an 30 mins. to 1 hour.
We don’t like chipotle peppers, but I didn’t want that to stand in the way of trying another of your wonderful vegan recipes. So, I substituted one dried guajillo pepper, one diced red pepper, and one minced jalapeno. After releasing the pressure, I added 1 cup of thawed frozen corn. Other than that, I made the recipe exactly as you instructed. We topped it with chopped scallions and diced avocado. The combination of spices, tomatoes and beans in this recipe are superb! My family loved it and I will make this the basis of all chilis I make in the future. Thank you!
That’s awesome, Mary! Thank you for sharing.
Yum! I didn’t even add salt and this was delish! Was glad I made your sour cream too, though, haha! (Possibly due to using chipotle paste and guessing a teaspoon was the right amount). I love how straightforward this is and I’ll be making it again for sure. Thank you, Shane.
This is now our favorite chili recipe! Amazing flavor!!!
Awww, thank you so much!
Great and easy vegan chili. I served it with your “cheese” grits on top.
Our family loves this recipe – it is my go to for chili, great alone or on a baked potato, so delicious. Thanks, Shane!
Thank you so much!
This is a delicious recipe that my whole family (veg and non-veg) loves! We eat it in bowls, on nachos, atop hotdogs (veggie or other) or on a split baked potato. It has a depth of flavor and can stand up to any traditional chili recipe.
Thanks, Shane! This is a standard in our home !
Second time making this and it is so easy, and so good. Thank you!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it:)
This recipe was so easy and really delicious. I only had 1 can of kidney beans so I subbed a can of small red beans for the other. Also, I forgot to add the maple syrup before starting the instant pot. Added it as soon as I opened it and the chili was still great.
Thank you.
Oh yeah! This chili is GREAT! Before I went WFPB beans DID NOT go in chili. Now they have to and this recipe has all the flavor of the chili in my previous life! Instead of sour cream we put in some of your ranch dressing. It is awesome! Thank you!!
I love this recipe as do my vegetarian sons and non vegetarian husband!
I’m not a big kidney bean fan so I changed the proportions of beans around and have also made with other beans, depending what’s in pantry, I also added sliced carrots for additional sweetness & texture and cut back on Chipotle just for our tastes.
But definitely a go to and comfort recipe! Thank you
Just made the chili. It is really good! Very easy. Next time I’ll make a double batch. Thank you!
Awesome, Sheryl!!!
This is my go-to Chili recipe! I love how versatile it is too. The recipe as-written is so tasty, but sometimes I’ll throw in a chopped red bell pepper and celery just for variety. Yummy!
Praise be the chipotle pepper in adobo, love the heat and flavor this brings to this chili. Easy to throw together this affordable and delicious weeknight meal!
Made this chili with the tofu sour cream and avocados as toppings and your vegan cornbread as a side. Everything turned out so good! Looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow!
If I doubled the recipe would the cook time increase? Also, would I be able to fit it in my instant pot? Thanks!
The cooking time will stay the same. The size of your Instant Pot will determine if it will all fit.
I made this chili last night and it was soooooo good! And even better the next day for breakfast. Chipolte peppers and maple syrup in chili? Who knew!
I’ve tried some other instapot vegan chili recipes and they were good, but this recipe is my new go to. And you know it’s good chili when the meat eaters in the house don’t comment about the lack of meat!
Mori, that is awesome!!! Thanks so much for reaching out.
Loved this chili! Super easy and delicious! Made it with your cornbread recipe and enjoyed it for a few meals.
I am looking forward to trying this recipe. In the ingredients list after the oregano, you list 1 1/2 cups, but what is the ingredient for the 1 1/2 cups?
Apologies, my browser wasn’t showing the ingredient, when I returned to the site, I see it.
Very flavorful and simple to make! Don’t even miss the meat. Thanks for the delicious healthy recipe!
Thank you so much!
Made this for dinner tonight. It was so delicious that I think I have to make it again tomorrow!! Thank you for the great recipes.
This has become a go to recipe for our household- both vegetarians and a meat eater. I’ve added carrots and changed the proportion of black beans to kidney ( also used other beans depending what I had available) and an extra 5-8 minutes cooking time. Served with a polenta bread- love this meal! Thanks
Sounds amazing, Joanne! Love the changes. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
Love this! And it’s great when I can find all the ingredients at the store. I used a small chipotle pepper From the can because I was nervous about the level of heat, and ended up with almost no heat. I appreciate that I can put more in next time and I won’t be scared. It’s so delicious!
That’s awesome, Debbie! Thanks for reaching out.
This is a fabulous recipe! I made it for my dinners this week, and it is filling and satisfying – especially since I haven’t been feeling well this week. I made it on the stovetop. I had a can of fire roasted tomatoes with green chiles which I pureed for about five seconds in my Nutribullet to make more of a “sauce” – I have severe texture issues sometimes and particularly with “mushy” tomatoes. 🙂 I then added probably a cup or so of water. (I don’t measure much with my cooking!) I used one can each kidney and black beans, then added about 1/4 cup split red lentils I had hanging around in the pantry. No chipotle pepper, but plenty of chili seasoning, some extra cumin, smoked paprika, minced garlic, dash of red pepper flakes and cayenne for a little back heat, and it turned out delicious. I like it spicy! Thank you for your recipes, I’m so glad I found your site! I’ve begun using several of your recipes as jumping off points for my own concoctions. Keep ‘em coming!
Awesom! I hope you’re feeling better.
Hey Shane! Love this recipe! I forgot to grab maple syrup. Should I leave it out or can I substitute for agave?
Feel free to use the agave or leave it out for a more savory chili. Thanks for reaching out!
I made this today and I don’t know what I did wrong but it’s more soupy instead of thick. What could I do to make it thicker? I have leftover brown basmati rice?
Try adding 1/4 cup of masa or whole wheat flour. That should help it. Sorry about that. This is the first comment I’ve gotten with about this issue. I hope this helps.
I’m hoping to make this for a Super Bowl party but I have a question. Someone at the party is really sensitive to spicy things after having chemo. Is this a spicy (hot) chili? If it is, any ideas on what to swap?
Hi, Cheri! I wouldn’t say it is “over the top” spicy but it does have a little kick. The best way to cut back on the spice would be to simply leave out the chipotle pepper. That’s what gives it the kick. I’m glad you’re making it and hope you enjoy it. Good luck!
Hi Shane ! I have a 7.5 oz can of chilis in adobo sauce. It says a serving is 2 Tablespoons. How much should I use ? Can I freeze the rest of the can for another day, another cjili ? Thank you 🙂
Hi, Irina. You will use one chili from the can and chop it very fine or you can use 1 Tbsp. of the just the adobo sauce if you prefer. We usually just cover the can and store it in the fridge until we’re ready to use again:) It keeps for a while. Hope this helps.
Thank you, Shane ! I made your chili with your cornbread for dinner last night ! Both were AMAZING ! I used twice the chipotles in adobo LOL So delicious ! You were right — this is THE chili recipe ! <3
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. (I also like extra chipotles. LOL!)
Shane.
This is yet another fabulous recipe! Thank you! We loved the flavors and ratio of beans to soup. I used to make a chili recipe from America’s Test Kitchen (with hamburger) before we went WFPB. It was one of those temptation recipes that haunted my food dreams. Not any more! Your recipe is very similar in taste and so much easier – and of course, healthier! I think it’s important to try a recipe as written if you’re going to rate it and then try variations. On occasion I will incorporate a few readers’ comments for fun, like adding carrots or mushrooms, but the original is a winner!
One of your readers asked about freezing chipolte peppers. I used to leave them out of recipes because I would always end up using one or two from the can and eventually throwing the rest away. Such a waste! I finally tried freezing them in a small ziplock baggie and smashing it flat. Once frozen I store it right inside the freezer door next to my roasted garlic and fresh ginger root. When I need a chipotle, for a recipe I just break off a piece and put the rest right back in the freezer. It works great and I no longer fret about waste or miss out on the wonderful flavor!
Thanks for sharing your love of good food!
Shane, I had to let you know that I made your recipe for the chili. Oh my goodness, I loved it and so did my husband. It is so quick and easy and delicious. I am making a bigger batch this afternoon. I plan on having this apart of our meal plan for our 60 th Anniversary celebration. The absence of meat isn’t noticeable, it is just super. Thank you!
Wow, Gayle! Thank you so much and CONGRATULATIONS! 60 YEARS! That is so amazing and encouraging. Blessings.
I really want to try this recipe. Can you recommend another way to get chipotle peppers in Adobe sauce or an alternative. Every thing I’ve found in store has tons of chemicals and preservatives in them. I’m currently expecting and I want to avoid that. Thank you 😊
Hi, Melissa. If you can’t find a good one just eliminate this ingredient and use a little extra smoke paprika and a pinch or two of cayenne. Should do just fine. Congrats! Hope you enjoye the recipe. Blessings.
My go to chili recipe! My boyfriend is a meat eater and this is his favorite too. It’s become a staple in our home. Would definitely recommend!
thank you so much!
I made this for dinner tonight and loved it! Shane, I’m so glad I saw your beer bread recipe (which I made a few days ago) and started following you.
Awww, thank you so much, Lynn! I’m so glad you’re here and Happy New Year!
Everyone loved it, even the one who panicked when I suggested going vegan again in the New Year!
Wow, that’s awesome, Peggy! I’m so glad you all enjoyed it and Happy New Year!
Love this recipe. I’ve added carrots and prefer changing the ratio of black beans to kidney beans. I’ve also found that increasing time helps ensure the carrots are cooked and the chili is the thickness we prefer. Yummy- served with polenta bread!
Thanks, Joanne! Happy New Year!
Just made this, it’s delicious!
Thank you!
Patricia
Thank you, Patricia! Happy New Year!!!
Nice seasoning. I added frozen corn and leftover brown rice for a touch of sweetness and a bit more body.
Very nice. Glad you enjoyed it. Happy Holidays!
Just found your site last week and love it! I made this chili and your corn bread tonight and both were excellently! My husband and I have been WFPB for two years and your corn bread is the first real success I’ve had in taste and texture. I also made your cauliflower walnut taco filling for a party and everyone raves about it. Thanks for the great recipes. I’m excited again about cooking.
Jill, that is awesome! I love hearing things like this…and pumped you like cooking again. That’s what it’s all about. Blessings.
Me again…twice in one day. I made this today as well. I added some mushrooms and served over spaghetti squash. Sooooo good. Keep them coming!
Haha, hey, Jill! Reach out as often as you desire:) I LOVE it.
Please check the time for pressure cooking your chili. The narrative says 3 minutes, but your recipe is showing 5 minutes as the pressure cooking time. Is it 3 or 5 minutes?
Lock the lid of your Instant Pot and set the timer to 3 minutes. Yes, 3 minutes. (narrative)
Set to cook on manual high pressure for 5 minutes. (recipe)
Wayne, thanks!!! It should be 5 minutes, the 3 is a typo. Thanks for catching it…changing now!!!
Can you make this on the stove top?
Thanks!
Yes, absolutely! Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat, throw in the onion, garlic, chipotle pepper, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano and toast for a minute or two. Add remaining ingredients, reduce heat to a simmer, and let cook for about 30-45 minutes. Good luck!
Absolutely love the smell and taste of this simple recipe. I make different chilis all the time-this one is a “make again”!
Wow, Susan! Thank you so much!!! I’m glad it’s finally cold enough to make and enjoy:) Blessings.
I want to try this, but could you use chipotle powder instead of the chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce? Also, I don’t like things too spicy (hot) . Will this be okay for me too.? My husband does like spicy things, but maybe he could add spicey stuff to his servings?
This was wonderful! And you are right, so much better the second day!!
Thank you, Jennifer! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the second day is my favorite day:)
Can’t wait to try this out for our neighborhood chili cook off this weekend! Do you think it’ll be okay to double the recipe?
YES! We actually doubled last week and it worked great. Good luck and I hope everyone enjoys it.
Thanks!!
We loved this Chili. So easy to make and super healthy. Loved the Smokey chipotle flavour!
Excellent meal! Flavors were well developed and so filling!!
Thank you, Amy!!! I hope you guys are well.
In the recipe – I think you mean “finely” chopped… not finally chopped chipotle pepper. Can’t wait to try this recipe. Looks delicious! 🙂
Uh, that’s exactly what I meant. I’m not a great “proof reader”. LOL! Thank you for catching it. Blessings.
This Chili was very tasty. I loved it . My husband said” There’s no Hamburg in here.” Oh well ! He had 2 bowls. He liked it too.
Haha, that is awesome, Maureen! Thanks so much for letting me know and I’m so glad you enjoyed it. If you wouldn’t mind I’d really appreciate you rating it with the “stars”. It helps me and others with Google:) Blessings.
WOW! So easy and delicious. THE BEST!!!
