I just made this today and my whole family really enjoyed it. My husband is super picky about his food, he normally doesn't eat chilli. I was surprised that he ate seconds. We are trying to eat healthier meals. My two year old ate a whole bowl by himself. I just found your channel a week ago and I'm grateful to you, thank you. Definitely adding this to my rotation

I have made this 5x now and it became a Christmas staple! Everyone I serve it to LOVES it 🙌

[evilmarketing]

Let me say thank you for having string music while you chop up the vegetables instead of talking the whole time. Very relaxing

I eat meat and animal products but it always annoyed me that so many other meat eaters completely disregard vegan recipes without any consideration at all. not every meal has to have an animal in it and there are so many amazing vegan recipes out there like your garlic parm pasta or pretty much any of your sheet pan recipes.

[primitivedaisy]

I made this today and it is amazing! My husband and I are not vegans, but he thought that it did have meat in it. AND he ate it for supper. This is a guy who's a "meat and potatoes" kinda guy. I love your channel. I totally enjoy your presentation, wit, and of course the recipes. Thanks! 😊

Made this today and it's fantastic. Will be making it all winter. I don't like green peppers so I used red. Over the summer I started using Ancho chili powder for my non-vegan chili and now will use nothing else, so though chili powder type was not specified, trust me on this and thank me later. I like things a little spicier, so I used two chipotles. Finally, don't add your spices when you first start to soften the peppers and onions - you might burn them on the medium high heat. Instead follow standard practice of soften peppers and onions, then add garlic for 30 seconds, then add all the spices at that point with some of the stock so they will mix in better and not burn. Give them a couple minutes, then add the rest of the stock and other ingredients.

I really am glad I found this guy. I'm slowly becoming more vegan and his recipes are simple and taste great. I love the way he constructs his videos and explains things after.

Your videos are not only "eye candy", but the BEST ASMR around!!!

@Andrew Bernard | The Nard Dog Cooks I don't use tofu or the pumpkin spice..but real pumpkin as it thickens, black, kidney, and pinto beans. Orange and yellow pepper only. Red and white onion. Fresh garlic ...What a color explosion in the bowl! I too eat with the eyes...Butternut small cubed. Cumin, tumeric, white pepper and chili powder for spice. Topped with or over cornbread crumbled..and jalapenos..

[lyndaplancarte]

Love you entire esthetic of your videos...very relaxing and enjoyable!! Love recipes that are one pot and especially those that indicate the weather is changing!!!... no more summer and hot weather!! I can only imagine the aromas filling the house while this is cooking!!...what a way to welcome company!! I don't know why I was waiting to see seeds inside that squash for some reason and yes I can understand why you need a sharp knife!! Reminded me of cutting sweet potatoes!! Thank you for sharing another great recipe!!...ready to enjoy the Fall and Winter months! Take care!!

[MrsSapphire]

I just made this recipe and it’s definitely going into my rotation. It is phenomenal 😋

[JC-cwww]

Going to use lean turkey, but I love the components of this recipe and all the layering. Finally! One with no pumpkin purée! Production was on point 👌

[richchick]

I FREAKING LOVE THIS DISH! My family are very picky. They don’t eat meat is much, so I tried this, stepping out on a limb.! They loved it! At first, they were a little skeptical about the tofu ( what’s the white stuff floating around?) they asked…but they ate it and now this is considered a favorite dish! Thanks NARD DOG!!!❤

[NurseOfori]

I was a bit skeptical about the spices, but the video was rather enticing, so I went with it. This is definitely a keeper. Tasty and hearty. Thanks for this and sharing delicious and healthy recipes.

[margarett_b]

My family would not approve of this recipe since some of them don't like tofu, others don't like pumpkin or pumpkin pie spice...but I am making this for myself because it sounds and looks amazing - especially since I love all the above ingredients :D Cozy, seasonal and comforting. Truly a perfect recipe for those colder months!
.
Lots and lots of love Andrew!
Have a great week ahead!

[sairacoolification]

The intense feeling of happy when you have ALL the ingredients to make this - this looks amaaaazing! PS I just discovered your channel and I LOVE how you present the recipes... really relaxing!

[MiKoo]

The production, the cinematography, the background music, the monologue, the jokes, the creativity and the sheer attractiveness of this gorgeous human being is just.... ahhh.

[Kx____]

this looks incredibly thank you so much, definitely going to make this for my family. also unrelated to the recipe but you seriously have such a nice voice i wish you would narrate audiobooks as well

[mrmiller]

Your videos speak to my soul! Every video I watch, you're making meals that I didn't know existed but I know I would absolutely love. Thank you so much.

Try adding a tad of cardamom, it works in just about anything. I use it in baking (banana bread, white chocolate chip macadamia cookies), soups and stews, fresh tomato, cucumber and onion salad, etc. It doesn't take much (1/4 teaspoon in a batch of 4 dozen cookies) but adds a nuance to the flavor.
We garden and preserve so eating fresh/raw foods is just part of life for us. We have plenty of vegetarian or vegan meals in season. I picked a late season watermelon yesterday and I'm in Zone 6... I still have corn coming in but the racoons want it too.... I would add corn to this chili if it was in season.
This is an interesting recipe but soy gives my wife issues so if I make it I will do it at work. A lot of the veg is stuff I grow so it's low cost for me.
Now I'm going out and digging up some more potatoes...
