Working long hours sometimes means you need to have something quick and ready for when you walk in the door. That’s why I’m looking forward to making more slow cooker meals this year. I was looking to make something a little more healthy and that’s how I ended up making this vegetarian slow cooker three bean chilli recipe.
This three bean chilli recipe is to die for. It’s super easy to make and let me tell you, it’s really filling and totally cheap to make. If you’re looking for a cheap dinner, this is the one and you can see how much it really costs in the recipe card towards the bottom.
One of the things I love about this recipe is that it’s a vegetarian chilli which means most people can enjoy it. It’s easy to turn it into a vegan chilli recipe if you check what you use but I prefer to use the ingredients listed towards the bottom of the chilli recipe card.
Slow Cooker Chilli Recipe
Honestly, one of the things I love about this recipe is that it’s slow cooker chilli. That means I can have the chilli cooking all day while I’m at work, walk in the front door and get hit with an amazing smell and dinner that only needs dishing up, what’s not to love?
What I will say is that if you’re making this chilli recipe, make sure there’s enough liquid in the slow cooker so it doesn’t burn. If you’re home it’s a little easier to keep an eye on, stir whenever you can and you won’t need to add as much.
