What's cooking in your house tonight? For us, it's Vegetarian Black Bean Chili, a family favorite! It's a dark, rainy day here and this was the perfect thing to have simmering all afternoon. The house smells amazing! Here's the recipe if you want to give it a try!
Vegetarian Black Bean Chili
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 sliced celery stalks
1 red bell pepper, deseeded and diced
10 oz. mushrooms (canned are ok if no fresh available)
1 can diced tomatoes (or can use fresh tomatoes if desired)
2 oz. cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can pinto beans, drained
1 can corn, (optional)
1 small can tomato paste
3 cups water
3 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
3 Tbsp. fresh chopped cilantro
Combine all ingredients in slow cooker and cook on low for approximately 5 hours. If you need it faster, cook on high for 2-3 hours OR cook in a large dutch oven on the stove at lowest setting for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Enjoy!
