How to Make Vegetarian Chili in the Crockpot
This recipe is as easy as 1, 2, 3! After throwing everything into a crockpot and letting it work its magic, this chili is ready to enjoy:
Stir all of the chili ingredients into the bowl of a slow cooker.
Place the lid on top and cook for 5 hours on Low or 2.5 hours on High.
Give it one last stir when it’s done, then serve with plenty of toppings and enjoy!
Storing and FreezingDirections
To store: Place any leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
To freeze: Let the chili cool completely before freezing. Transfer it to airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion. Label with the date and freeze for up to 6 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm gently on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally, or reheat in the microwave until heated through.

That looks delicious and perfect for this weekend. We are supposed to get 6-9 inches of snow tomorrow. Nothing like what the east coast got, though!

We got three feet out of that storm, more yesterday and probably another foot on Monday, so a big bowl of your veggie chili sounds perfect.
