Vegetable and Bean Chili Recipe

This is an extra easy Slow Cooker Vegetable Chili. A hearty meal without any meat. Serve a hot bowl of chili with homemade cornbread or warm buttered tortillas. The chili can also be made on the stovetop for 2 hours stirring occasionally, however cooking in the slow cooker really helps to develop all the flavors and you can’t beat the set-it-and-forget cooking with a slow cooker.
