HEARTY VEGAN SLOW-COOKER CHILI
Makes 10-15 servings. This recipe can be adjusted according to your taste preferences, so you can leave out undesirable ingredients or add others that appeal to you (like mushrooms). I add ingredients just to bulk up the heartiness and color palate of the chili, but feel free to just use a few green peppers or same-colored zucchinis as you desire. By the end, you just want everything to be hearty, moist, and flavored -- mess around with it as you go! I would say to serve it with shredded cheese and corn chips, but then it's no longer 'vegan.' : )

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the green, red, and yellow bell peppers, onions, and garlic until the onions start to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Place the mixture into a slow cooker. Stir in spinach, corn, zucchini, yellow squash, chili powder, cumin, oregano, parsley, salt, black pepper, tomatoes, black beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, and tomato paste until thoroughly mixed. Pour the tomato sauce and vegetable broth over the ingredients.
- Set the cooker on Low, and cook until all vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 hours. Check seasoning; if chili is too thick, add more tomato sauce and vegetable broth to desired thickness. Cook an additional 1 to 2 hours to blend the flavors.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large and deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add onion and saute 3 minutes, then add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer. Pour onions into a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker (I like this one HERE).
- Return skillet to medium-high eat, add beef and cook stirring occasionally until beef has browned.
- Drain most of fat from beef, leaving about 2 Tbsp in with beef (this is optional, I think it ads flavor but you can drain it all if you'd prefer). Pour browned beef into slow cooker.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cocoa powder, sugar, coriander and season mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 5 - 6 hours.
- Stir in dark and light red kidney beans and allow to heat through, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with desired toppings.

- Don't skimp on the vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to chili. Be generous with the amount of vegetables you use, and don't be afraid to experiment with different types.
- Use a good quality chili powder: The chili powder is one of the most important ingredients in chili, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for a chili powder that is made with 100% pure chili peppers and has a deep, rich flavor.
- Season to taste: Chili is a forgiving dish, so don't be afraid to taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more chili powder, cumin, salt, or pepper to taste.
- Let the chili simmer: Simmering allows the flavors to develop and meld together. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste. Aim to simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, but longer is even better.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, crushed tortilla chips, and chopped cilantro.
