I keep in mind when I cooked chili con carne for the first time. It was years ago, and also it was so easy! I fried some beef and after that ... I opened up a pack of seasoning mix! I added it to the meat along with tomatoes, a sprinkle of water and red kidney beans and done! Yes, despite the fact that I am embarrassed to confess to it now, I need to admit that I used a shop-bought mix to make that dish in the past. There is something even much more humiliating. When that ready to prepare packet wasn't available anymore, I stopped cooking chilli con carne. Why? I thought back then that making it from square one was too complex and that I would certainly never ever accomplish the same taste.
When I finally got my nerve and a wonderful dish, too! I understood that thanks to cooking it myself, I understood just what was in it. And it tasted most likely even far better than the one I used to make. Not surprising that then that it quickly turned into one of my family members's preferred meals.
When my child chose to become vegetarian, I knew I had to deal with another difficulty. I had to cook a meal that is based on meat but without the meat. And undoubtedly, I had to make it taste like a actual thing.

Nevertheless, I still wanted to get the same taste of the Vegetarian Chili Con Carne as we knew from the Chili with meat.
