So let's get to the recipe & video....

I love chili! It's easy, filling and versatile.

We usually have it with rice or cornbread the first night and on tortilla chips with lettuce (sometimes this queso recipe) and salsa the next day.

The measurements in the recipe below is enough for one night for us, so I double the ingredients to stretch it out.

Enjoy!

Vegan Chili Recipe - Throw It In the Slow Cooker

by Brown Vegan

Cook Time: 6-8 Hours

Keywords: slow-cooker entree vegan vegetarian

Ingredients (Serves 5)

1 lb kidney beans, soaked for 8 hours-then drained & rinsed
1 large onion, diced
1 large green bell pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
24 oz can of diced tomatoes
2 cups vegetable broth
2 jalapeño peppers, diced (add seeds based on how spicy you want the chili to be)
1 package of vegan meatless crumbles (optional)

Instructions

In a large bowl, soak the kidney beans in water overnight.

After soaking, rinse the kidney beans and boil in a stockpot for 30 minutes in about 10 cups of water.

Add all of the ingredients (except for the vegan crumbles and jalapeño) into a slow cooker.

Turn on and cook for 6-8 hours or until the kidney beans are soft.

During the last 30 minutes, mix in the crumbles and jalapeño.

Also, check your seasoning and add more salt, if necessary.

Remember that 90s infomercial with the "Set it and Forget It" tagline?

Well that's exactly what you will do once you toss all the ingredients for this chili into a slow cooker. Gon' bout your business

I used to love the smell of chili simmering in the slow cooker when I came home from middle school back in the day.

Chili is one of those recipes that is super easy to veganize because most of the ingredients are naturally vegan. If you prefer ground beef in yours, you can easily switch that out with a vegan version from brands like Beyond Meat and Gardein.

Also, you can serve it with vegan cornbread, vegan cheese (Field Roast or Daiya are options), vegan sour cream and/or crackers (the regular Ritz crackers are vegan).

So go ahead - set it and forget it!
