We think this chili is superb. The addition of cooked barley and the liquid
it is cooked in makes it feel meaty (m***y) to your mouth. Seasonings
depend on the cook and your taste.
Wash 1 cup dry pinto beans and pick out debris and rocks.  Put pinto beans
in 3 cups water.  Bring to a boil and turn off heat.  Let soak one hour.
Then simmer beans until soft adding water if needed. Beans should absorb
most of the water.
In separate pan, cook 1/4 cup pearl barley per package directions.  Add
liquid as needed. You want some liquid at the end.
Add barley with its cooking liquid to beans.  Add 1/2 cup (or more)
granular TVP* (optional but recommended).
From here, you wing it.  Add tomato paste or sauce, onion, garlic, chili
powder, salt and cumin to taste.  If you like chunk tomatoes, use that
instead of tomato paste. If you have a can of Rotel tomatoes with green
chilis, put it in. For a nice deep flavor, add 1Tblsp of Mole paste from
Mexican section of Supermarket.
Simmer until TVP is tender and flavors blend, adding liquid as you wish.
