Chili does seem like a good vehicle for plant based protein. There's alot of non meat options that I like, but almost none are "meat replacements."
Just let it be it's own thing FFS. What's terrible as a ""burger"" might be delicious in chili.
100% agree. There is tons of delicious vegetarian/vegan food, but vegetarian/vegan substitutions of traditionally meat based dishes range from terrible to just okay.
Carb replacement dishes have the same problem. Spaghetti Squash is delicious when cooked as a vegetable, but throwing Ragu on it and pretending it is pasta is just sad.
