Almost-vegetalian Black Bean Chili
This was almost-vegetarian black bean chili.
It was our latest slow-cooking dinner! We picked the recipe from our America's test kitchen slow cooker revolution. The recipe was vegetarian, but we used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, which is the reason why I called it almost-vegetarian. Still it was no meat but tons of vegetables - 1 pound of dried black beans, two onions, two red bell peppers, and 10 oz of mushrooms. Of course, spices and herbs, too.
After 6 hours on high, the chili was ready to eat. Toppings were fresh cilantro, fresh onion for J, lime wedges, and cheese, of course. Extra cheese for J!
The chili was pretty good. I have made veggie chili many times, but chili with mushrooms were new for us. Another slow cooker success!
