QEM: Veggie chili

I made this when it was a chilly and rainy day and it is so easy especially with the crock pot.



Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: at least 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low or somewhere in between. The longer the more flavorful.



Ingredients:

• 2 cans of tomato sauce
  
• 1 can diced tomatoes
  
• 1 can of tomato paste
  
• 1 can of kidney beans
  
• 1 can of chili beans
  
• 1 large onion
  
• 1 bunch of celery
  
• 2 cloves of garlic
  
• 1 can of corn
  

Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, red chili flakes, cumin, oregano to taste



1. Chop veggies and throw into the crock pot

2. Open cans and drain excess liquid. Add to crock pot.

3. Add seasonings to taste

4. Stir everything together

5. Let cook



This time as you may notice below, I used a crock pot liner. If you decide to go this route, make sure to spray it with olive oil so the food won't stick and rip the bag.



If you don't want to use a bag, heavily spray the whole crock pot with olive oil and add everything and stir. You don't want it to get stuck on the sides.



Very easy recipe! Feel free to modify by adding meat and/ or taking and adding ingredients.

All in the crock pot

All done!
