Totally! Paprika is an excellent addition to both vegetarian and vegan chili dishes. It adds flavor and complexity without the necessity for meat. Use Italian sausage. I also generally make my chili with 50 % floor beef and half (scorching) Italian sausage, which adds some amazing flavor to this recipe! https://gunnerzahrm.blogthisbiz.com/37617179/paprika-chilli-options
