Remember that 90s infomercial with the "Set it and Forget It" tagline?
Well that's exactly what you will do once you toss all the ingredients for this chili into a slow cooker. Gon' bout your business
I used to love the smell of chili simmering in the slow cooker when I came home from middle school back in the day.
Chili is one of those recipes that is super easy to veganize because most of the ingredients are naturally vegan. If you prefer ground beef in yours, you can easily switch that out with a vegan version from brands like Beyond Meat and Gardein.
Also, you can serve it with vegan cornbread, vegan cheese (Field Roast or Daiya are options), vegan sour cream and/or crackers (the regular Ritz crackers are vegan).
So go ahead - set it and forget it!
wHAT do you serve with your chili? Let me know in the comments.
