Slow Cook 3-Bean Chili (Vegetarian and Gluten-Free) Recipe
Recipe by: Daisysmuse
"This is a wonderfully filling (high protein) yet yummy 3-bean, gluten-free, and vegetarian chili. I like to serve this chili over gluten-free macaroni and top it with shredded cheddar cheese and Greek yogurt."
1Stir water, kidney beans, corn, crushed tomatoes, lentils, black beans, tomato paste, sugar, chili powder, cumin, and paprika together in a slow cooker.
2Cook on High for 6 hours.
3Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions and garlic in hot oil until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir into the chili.
4Continue cooking chili on Low until the beans are completely tender, 4 to 6 hours more.
Footnotes
Cook's Notes:
Add red pepper if you like spice.
You could easily cook on Low for 10 hours and then turn it up to high for 2 hours depending on your schedule; play around with it. The main point is getting the dry beans tender.
Easy Cleanup
Try using a liner in your slow cooker for easier cleanup.
