I love my slow cooker! I don’t know how people survive without it. There are so many different recipes you can make with a slow cooker! My Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala, Smokey Black Bean Soup, and Vegan Sloppy Joes are some of my favorite recipes.

Recently my husband has been craving chili. (Well, just so you know…my husband loves meat. Any kind of meat.) So when he told me he wanted chili, I decided to give him a new twist on his classic favorite dish. I opted for no meat at all and added more veggies and different types of beans.

I know a lot of people out there don’t believe chili can taste so good without the ground beef, but this dish turned out to be one of my husband’s most requested meals. It’s a healthy and hearty version with just the right amount of spices.
