I made this for Superbowl and I have to say, it is one of the easiest things in the world to make!  I make it in a slow cooker which is why it is so easy.  Throw the ingredients in, turn it on and walk away!  Man I love slow cookers!

Vegetarian Chili

What you'll need:

1 large onion, large dice

4 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 large can of diced tomatoes

1 can of tomato paste

1 can of kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can of pinto beans, rinsed and drained

1 small can of corn, drained

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 oz. of super dark chocolate (like 74%)

1 Tbsp. chili spice blend

a pinch of cinnamon

a dash of cayenne 

You can adjust the heat however you like it, I like it mild.  If you are going to add more, add gradually!!  You can never take out heat, but you can keep adding it.

What you'll do:

Throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker, mix and turn on!!  And poof in a few hours, you will have delicious chili!  I would mix it a few times an hours to get the flavors all married.  And add a little water if it's really thick.  I usually end up putting a cup or two of water in.

And of course, all the ingredients are optional, so have fun with it!

Serve with cheddar cheese, scallions, and or cornbread.

    This is so delicious and so easy! I have a 7 month old so I am all about easy healthy dinners and leftovers! Loved this! The chocolate added depth and complexity!

    I always make my veg chili in the slow cooker, but I’ve never added chocolate. My goal each time is to hide the ingredients from the kids (so far they don’t know it has carrots and celery minced up in it). But I’ve never known my kids to refuse chocolate… so I might not have to hide this one. Thanks!!
