I’m not gonna lie.
I’m kiiiiiiinda looking forward to fall.
Like.
Who am I?!
But cooler weather means fun things like pumpkin muffins, tailgating, cozy sweaters, and
ALL THE CROCKPOT RECIPES.
If you’ve been to Show Me the Yummy at ANY point, you probably already know that the crockpot is literally my favorite kitchen gadget.
While I do FULLY believe that you can and SHOULD use your slow cooker all year round, I know most people use it during the cooler months to make cozy and delicious soups, stews, and . . .
CHILI.
I have a few chili recipes on the blog already, but today, I have for you, what may now be my new fave:
Crockpot Vegetarian Chili.
Technically, this is Crockpot Vegan Chili, but I like how Crockpot Vegetarian Chili sounds better. 😉
While Trevor and I aren’t vegan – or even vegetarian – I do like to cook at LEAST one plant based meal a week.
Mainly, because I feel like we don’t get NEARLY enough veggies in our diets.
I have three favorite “recipes” when I’m really looking to load up on veggies:
- Healthy Egg Muffins Cups <— chop up the veggies small and load ‘em in. Veggies + protein for breakfast and I won’t feel bad if I don’t eat anything green for the rest of the day.
- Smoothies <— load in the spinach to any of those recipes, you can’t even TASTE it. I often will make smoothies for Trevor and myself and will pack in 4 cups of spinach! Do you know how LONG that would take to sit down and eat?
- Soups and chilis <— again, chop up the veggies small and load ‘em in. There are so many flavors and textures going on, that I try to pack as many veggies in as possible, and you really can’t even tell.
This Crockpot Vegetarian Chili is no exception, it’s absolutely JAM PACKED with vegetables.
