It’s Wednesday so it’s time for another hump day treat recipe for you all! Now every Monday night a bunch of my friends and I gather together to watch The Bachelor / Bachelorette / Bachelor in Paradise depending on the time of the year. One of my friends came up with the idea that each week we would rotate who would bring either alcohol, appetizers, main course and dessert for the week. If you cook the main meal one week that means the following week you don’t have to bring anything! The only problem is in our group we have a lot of allergies including gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian. Try finding a main course that fits all of those criteria’s people! Not to worry this week I found something that worked for everyone. Recently I got a slow cooker from my Mom and needless to say I am very excited about it. I decided to make vegetarian chili in the slow cooker for Bachelor night. Anyone else remember those infomericals where the guy said, “Set it and…FORGET IT!” That is how I feel about a slow cooker. I just put all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and set it on high for two hours and like magic it was ready to go. Thanks to allrecipes.com I was able to find the perfect vegetarian chili. There are a few changes I made to it personally. I didn’t add peppers into my chili and I also used a sweet onion when the recipe didn’t specify what kind. Here is what you will need:
Ingredients:
- 1 (19 ounce) can black bean soup
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (16 ounce) can vegetarian baked beans
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can chopped tomatoes in puree
- 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
I personally added sliced avocado on top and for the few of us that could eat dairy I added a sprinkle of Mexican cheese on top. This recipe makes enough to feed 5 people at least 3 bowls each! Crazy I know, but it’s true. Two hours on high in the slow cooker like I said is all you need. Hope everyone is ready for Memorial Day Weekend! Have a great day <3
