Slow Cooker Vegetarian Chili
Whether you are a strict dietary vegan or vegetarian or you just want to have a meatless meal (think Meatless Monday) this easy “dump and go” recipe is for vegetarian chili made in the slow cooker is perfect.
This tasty recipe features 4 types of beans, 3 kinds of peppers, tomatoes, quinoa and spices to make a really flavorful and nutritious chili is that is high in fiber, gluten free and Weight Watchers diet friendly too!
But, there are two things I love most about this recipe and they are:
- Dump And Go – That means that there is no pre-cooking anything or any extra steps. You just prepare your ingredients (open cans, rinse some beans, dice some peppers) and toss everything in the slow cooker all at once.
- Cook All Day – You can get everything in the slow cooker before you head to work or whatever you do all day and let this hearty vegetarian chili cook away for 6 to 8 hours on LOW heat. When you get home, this meat-free chili is ready to scoop into bowls, top with your favorite chili toppings and eat.
That makes it super easy to make a healthy and nutritious meal for your family without any fuss. No excuses right?
This recipe also makes a lot of chili. It easily serves 16 adults. So it is perfect for a crowd (think Game Day). But if you are not cooking for a large crew like I am (family of 7 here) that is okay too. What I like to do is freeze up single serve containers so I have easy to heat up lunches!
