This was tonight's dinner. Very good and simple to put
together - altho' there are 3 steps. It is a crockpot
recipe essentially.

I used Somersized homemade barbecue sauce for the
hickory bbq sauce it originally asked for. I also
didn't have chipotle en adobo so i used 1 tsp ground
chipotle and put it in with the tomatoes. Recipe
Crumbles are frozen texturized vegetable protein that
looks like ground meat. If you don't like soy
products, use some ground sausage or meat of some kind
and cook it before putting it into the c/p. I find the
Recipe Crumbles in the frozen section with the other
TVP products - Boca Burgers, Morningstar Farms
Grillers, stuff like that. it is made by Morningstar
Farms. 

The chili was very good.
