Recipe: Crockpot Spicy Queso Beef Chili (but cooked on stove and made vegetarian)

Really good chili recipe that we made vegetarian. It's similar to the SmokyTofu Chili recipe in flavor but has a higher heat level because of the hot chiles and a slightly different flavor. I wish I could taste them side by side to taste the differences. 

Ingredients: ground beef (but see Impossible Beef and tofu sub below), yellow onions, poblano peppers, crushed fire roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, diced green chiles, broth, cream cheese, mixed chili beans, hot sauce, butter, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, bay leaves, salt

Toppings: cheddar, cilantro, green onions, avocado, Greek yogurt

Tips:
  • Used 1 package of Impossible Beef and 1 block of firm tofu instead of 2 pounds of ground beef
  • Used 2 Tbsp of hot sauce instead of 1/3 cup 
  • Used unsalted butter + salt instead of salted butter
  • Used 2 cups of vegetable broth instead of the "2-3 cups of chicken or beef broth"
  • Didn't add in the cream cheese
  • Didn't add in the cheddar in the chili -- used as topping instead
  • Added 1 can of black beans 
  • Serve with Frito dipper chips
