You have helped me so much to understand a plant based diet. Your helping me and my family turn our health around, thank you Chef AJ!

[@CHEFAJ]

You are so welcome!

[@smokeyallanritter3211]

I have found that cremini mushrooms have a lot more flavor.

[@smokeyallanritter3211]

This recipe looks so awesome! "Beans, beans the magical fruit The more you eat . . . The more you lose weight!" UR so Awesome, Chef AJ! Hugs from the Healthy Cowboy in Colorado. ( I escaped LA 20 years ago)

I want to apologize because I didn’t realize that this was Gustavo one of your guest. I was a little angry because he didn’t give you the credit since this is your recipe, but I was listening to his voice and I’m saying that sounds like Gustavo so anyway I take what I said earlier, but I made this yesterday and it’s a great recipe so thank you Chef AJ. . And I apologize for any typos because I’m talking into this.

[@CHEFAJ]

[@christym.814]

I’ll be making this. Looks easy and delicious. Thank you! AJ, I passed your information on to a person I met today. She admitted she was a struggling food addict. It was a preordained meeting because she needs your book-urgently! She was as so happy for the information. I was so happy to give her hope.

[@ing2864]

O joy! I had such a bad day and suddenly it’s all better because I can watch your positivity. Just wish it was still an hour long🙄

[@CHEFAJ]

I will do a few future one hour LIVE episodes when I have guests.

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

I never came across Benson's table tasties here in Holland, but I looked up the ingredients and started mixing my own, it's super yummy.

[@fat0elle0thin]

ooh can you please share your recipe instructions for DIY table tasty - we don’t get it in my country either 🙏🏻

[@adarhodes7752]

One of my favorite recipes!!! Bought your book...thank you for making this easier. I am just transitioning to WFPBSOS

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you

[@veggiedance824]

I love your videos and recipes! I still need to get an instant pot badly. I recently got an air fryer and love it!

[@barbarasaxton293]

I made this chili tonight invited my children over for dinner and we all loved it. I ordered your book today can’t wait till it comes in so that I can make more healthy meals for my family. Please keep doing what you’re doing I love, love, love your videos! Wish I lived next door to you😁

[@ELLIESHAY]

Can't wait to make this. I checked out the website for Benson's table tasty and they offer a $1.00 sample with free shipping so im excited about that too 😊

[@blklocladybug]

My books arrive next week. I am a black bean and mushroom lover! This recipe is going to send me over the top. I can't wait to try it.

[@audither]

I’m making this recipe now, but I screwed up and I added all the ingredients including the corn so just wondering how badly it’s going to be but I guess I’ll find out soon enough

[@jgrysiak6566]

This sounds delicious, I have a ton of canned black beans from food bank in my cupboard! Lol

My weight gain while pregnant has been getting a bit out of control. Now I'm back to your recipes and my weight's more stable And I feel great. Thank you Chef Aj!

[@livechilllife]

I love this chili I make it all the time and I like that it doesn’t have that traditional chili flavor because I’m not a fan of the traditional seasonings.

[@cindyapap8743]

I absolutely love you Chef AJ! I’m an ex-pat in Australia so things are way more expensive here (eg $4.00/pound for dry pinto beans or black beans) but my 20 year old daughter and I push forward anyway and you are truly an inspiration. Also, I bought the garlic chopper you use of Amazon AU. It’s awesome! Love and appreciate all you do❤️

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you

[@Laineyslife]

My favorite. That everyone loves.

[@jameliamcgee975]

I love ur videos! This is the first time in actually making It! What are those spices u put in the chilli?

[@audither]

Well, as it turns out, I did not screw up because I have an 8 quart instant pot and Chef AJ says you can add the corn at the same same time as all the other ingredients if you have a large instant pot. Eaten two large bowls of this chili and the more I eat it the more I love it.. Thank you Chef AJ and thanks Charles. Also just for being there for me when I needed you..

[@CHEFAJ]

You are so welcome!❤️

[@slowmudworm]

Is it just me? Every time I make this in the Instant Pot, I get "Food Burn" warning and it could not go through the pressure cooking as a result. I'd stir and try again, and get the error again. But after a couple of times, the chili is cooked, so I eat it. Despite the frustration, it's delicious. I just wonder if my Instant Pot is faulty or this does happen to others too.

[@CHEFAJ]

No issues here with ours!

[@696969bold]

A chili recipe without tomatoes would be awesome.

[@pamelakelly5869]

Always interesting to see what and how things are available in different spots of the world: I live in the capital of Switzerland and there is no way to obtain frozen shopped mushrooms, pre-xhopped / peeled garlic, the biggest can of Black beans is a 1/3 of a Cup, nothing in Cans is salt free, tons of canned tomatoes, none of the types roasted etc. Nutritiinal Yeast? You have to seaech Special, small Health Störes try to Order from Germany. I do not mind, just Takes more money, Time and effort. We are dairy country....

[@bonniebrace3390]

I really miss the live Weightloss Wednesdays! I only watched the replays even but there was something about them that almost felt like I was there. There is nothing wrong with the new ones, they just don't grab me the same way. I really miss the interactions of Eden and Kenny in the videos too! Yes the questions were repetitive sometimes but I find it helpful to hear the same info presented slightly ways over and over again, especially since we are constantly bombarded with the opposite messages from the rest of society!

[@CHEFAJ]

I will still do them live occasionally when I have guests. As a matter of fact the next 2 Wednesdays will be live, With my book out now I really don't feel there is anything more I can add to the subject especially of folks will read the book.

[@2winlock]

Hi AJ! Just am starting your Ultimate Weight Loss group. This recipe is on the list of recipes for the first week. I don't have an Insta Pot. I'm going to try just cooking this in my soup pot until I get one. Thanks for showing us how to make the "parmaesan" cheese. I'm going with the "Enlightened Faux Parmesan".

UPDATE: Cut this recipe in half, here's why ... After signing up for Chef AJ's email list, I was expecting to get this (and a few other recipes) for signing up, but that didn't happen. However, I'm persistent and found this recipe on the Instant Pot site when I searched for Chef AJ. I loved how simple this looked, and it was! However, I made this last night and it was tasteless. I had my wife taste it as well. Same response ... smelled good, but horribly bland. I even went so far as to double the spices! So, when you try this for yourself (which I recommend you do!), I would recommend CUTTING THE RECIPE IN HALF (EXCEPT for the spices) to save yourself a lot of wasted food if you don't care for it. ------- ORIGINAL POST: Looks great and I would LOVE to try this out tomorrow night as I have all of these ingredients BUT there were no mention of the spices. AJ simply mentions she pre-mixes her spices for convenience. You mentioned the measurements for the bulk ingredients, but not the spices. Anyone know what this spice blend is? Help!

Hi AJ! Actually, I signed up but never received my recipes. I checked my Spam folder and everything. Is there someone in your organization I can email to see if it went through?

Yes. [e-mail]. There are certain email addresses like SBCGLOBAL that won't send our emails. Gmail always works if you have an account.

1 Tablespoon ground cumin, 1 Tablespoon dried oregano, 1/2 Tablespoon SMOKED paprika and 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder :)

[@fat0elle0thin]

@@cheezheadz3928 yes i know - but the printed recipe is actually on the Instant Pot website, with Chef AJ’s details. since it’s already available free for anyone in the public domain i figured she wouldn’t mind (i copy-pasted it from the IP site)

[@ellen3093]

Maybe a bit TMI but since eating SOS free with lots of veggies and limited fruit, I don't go to the bathroom as often as before, I'm not as regular. Is this normal or is my digestive system not able to handle all of the fiber?

[@lumay1966]

Ellen how long have you been eating SOS-free?

[@ellen3093]

a few weeks consistently

[@CHEFAJ]

Please see your doctor. Eat a large raw salad daily with raw shredded beets, carrots and cabbage.

[@ellen3093]

CHEF AJ Thanks for the reply. I noticed too that it gets better when I eat raw carrots! But it can also be because I under eat a bit now, it seems like I only eat about 1200 cal/day now whereas before I’d have at least 1800/day. Is this bad?

[@CHEFAJ]

Ellen do you need to lose weight?

[@jennyburd4069]

You said in your video that you were setting the instant pot to cook for 12 minutes however you actually set it for 6 minutes. Why the difference?

[@simpleshoes2009]

Jenny Burd I think its because they are already cooked beans?

[@marycarmichael8639]

She said it was last set on twelve for a previous recipe and she changed it to 6 for this recipe

[@marycarmichael8639]
