    vegetarian chili

    I've made dozens of different kinds of Chili Recipes over the years but this is the first time I make a Vegetarian Chili in my slow cooker. And it won't be the last time either.

    chili ingredients in slow cooker

    Just like most chili recipes, this vegetarian chili includes beans and a bunch of veggies but nothing else. No meat of any kind, no hot sauces, no bread crumbs or cheese. Just a bunch of veggies and beans in a tomato paste broth.

    💭 Recipe Tip

    Try to resist as much as possible the temptation to open the lid while it's cooking as the slow cooker loses heat. By just opening the lid to stir the contents can make the internal temperature drop by 10°F to 15°F.

    💭 Ingredient Substitution

    I like Great Northern Beans and always have a few cans on hand so that is what I used to make this vegetarian chili. You can use whatever you have on hand or prefer like Navy Beans or Cannellini Beans.

    The same goes for the veggies used in this recipe. You can add some of your favorite veggies instead of the ones I list below.

    Just make sure you try and stick with the same total quantity of veggies the same. You want to keep the flavor of this chili balanced.

    You can optionally garnish this awesome chili with some shredded cheese or some crushed tortilla chips both of which are considered vegan and vegetarian friendly.

      I just love this recipe. After putting it in the slow cooker the chili just makes itself. There is nothing like a warm chili on a cold day. My family just loved it.
