Vegetarian Chili

Here's a rough guess at the chili I made today.  It turned out delicious & exactly how chili is supposed to taste!  Based on some combination of this, this, and whatever I had around the kitchen.

  • 1 can diced tomatoes, not drained
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can great northerrn beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can Trader Joe's cajun style black beans, drained but not rinsed
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped into bean-sized pieces
  • 1 bell pepper (I used half an orange bell pepper and half a red bell pepper)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp vegetarian worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1.5 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • a few shakes of onion powder
  • a little black pepper
Throw everything in the slow cooker & mix it together.  Cook on high for about 2 hours, then leave it on low until you're ready to eat it -- I left it for about an hour.  Stir occasionally.  After the first hour, taste a few beans and add seasonings as needed.
