portabella and plant-based swiss cheese sliders

by Jackie Newgent | April 6, 2015 | 0 Comments

Sliders have been popular for decades, with many fast-casual restaurants offer cheeseburger sliders on their menus today. Unfortunately, they often come three per serving and typically include a mini white bun, beef patty, American singles, onions, and some sort of slider sauce. Of course, fries usually automatically arrive with your order to put your meal into caloric overdrive. Well, at least the onions are a good thing!

mini vegan chili and cheese bowls

Every year I create a new chili recipe. This year I decided to have extra fun with it and make a party-friendly chili. This mini vegan chili and cheese bowlsrecipe is served up in personal-sized sourdough bread bowls. And yes, you can and should eat the bowl! The chili is a good-for-you bean lovers’ version along with my signature additions of cinnamon and fresh herbs. The bowls are topped with plant-based cheese (pick your favorite!). To entertain in style, serve each of these awesome chili bowls topped with plant-based sour cream. Don’t forget some fresh or pickled jalapeño slices for a kick in the palate, too.
