Notes

  • Use a heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven to make this recipe. It will disperse heat more evenly so the bottom will be less likely to scorch.
  • Use the largest pot you have as this makes a big batch.
  • Drain and rinse the beans well before adding to the pot.
  • If making ahead of time, let the mushroom chili cool completely before storing.
