I think this makes a lot more than 8 servings. I made (and will in the future make) the following changes, but it's a really flexible recipe - it is chili, after all!: Use a whole onion. Nix celery and bay leaves. Use chipotle peppers instead of jalapenos. Nix green chili peppers. Add chipotle chili pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin, and hot chili flakes. Only really need 1 package of burger crumbles, 2 cans of beans. Use frozen corn instead of canned (tastes fresher). Use 1 28oz container of crushed tomatoes and 1 can of tomato sauce instead of whole tomatoes.

My husband accidentally bought dried pesto tortellini, and it turned out just as good. (Might be a cost-cutter.)

Darn, the secret's out! I've made a recipe just like this one before and everyone is always incredibly impressed. They're like tasty little cakes!
