METHOD

Make it

  1. 1

    Put all chili ingredients in the slow cooker. Cook LOW about 6–8 hours or HIGH 3–4 hours until vegetables soften.

  2. 2

    If too thin toward the end, leave the lid off for a while; if too thick, add broth.

  3. 3

    Serve over rice or roasted potatoes with lettuce, tomato, avocado or guacamole, salsa and crushed tortilla chips.

Cooking notes

  • Distinct from the site’s six-can three-bean chili; this source uses four cans and a complete slow-cooker method.

Serving suggestions

  • Optional vegan cheese, vegan sour cream, green onions, cilantro, jalapeños, corn, lime or red onion.
