Today I am going to show you how to make my vegan chili recipe. You may be wondering why I am making chilli at the start of summer? Hotdogs are a summer staple, and I love chili cheese dogs, which is what I am having for Memorial Day. This tasty recipe is great for hot dogs in the summer or on a cold winter day warming you on the inside with crumbled salted crackers.
