How To Make slow-cooker veggie chili (rainbow chili)

  • Step 1
    Boil beans in large pot for three mins, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for one hour.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile, put olive oil, onions, garlic, and peppers into slow cooker (no need to pre-cook anything; that’s why I use a slow-cooker!).
  • Step 3
    When beans are ready, drain, rinse and add to slow-cooker along with all other ingredients.
  • Step 4
    Cover and cook on LOW, 6+ hours, stirring and adding water as necessary.
  • Step 5
    Serve with desired toppings.
  • Step 6
    Serve over brown rice, or with hot, out-of-the-oven cornbread! YUMMY!
  • Step 7
    This makes a lot of chili! Invite a bunch of friends over, or freeze leftovers for later!
