Vegetarian Chili
September 30, 2011 – 2:54 pmThis hearty crockpot meal is great for a fall day. I brought this into work for a potluck and cooked it all morning at my desk. One of our bosses is a vegetarian, so I wanted to make sure that he had something tasty and filling too 🙂 It’s loosely based off of this AllRecipes recipe. I kept it relatively mild for the potluck, but if I were making this for just Shaun and I, I’d add some chopped jalapeno and more chipotle chili powder (and halve the batch 😛 ).
