How do I make vegetarian chili in the crock pot?

First, start with cooking the fresh garlic and onion in a skillet until the onion is soft.

While the onions are doing their thing, add the kidney beans, chili beans, fire roasted tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable broth, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to a 6 qt slow cooker.

Once the garlic and onion are soft and no longer crunchy, add them into the crock pot with the other ingredients and give it a stir.

Cook the vegetarian chili on low for 6 – 8 hours or high for 3 – 4, then serve with your favorite toppings!

Best toppings for chili

• fritos
• sour cream
• crackers
• sharp cheddar cheese (fresh grated is best!)

The best part of chili is dressing it up however you like!

This chili recipe fills a 6 quart slow cooker almost to the top which means it makes a ton!

We ate the leftovers over the next few days and it reheats like a dream.

If you want to switch it up, try adding some leftover chili to your favorite mac and cheese for easy chili mac!

This recipe is just mildly spicy, so if you like your chili with more heat, you can add more paprika to taste.
