Vegetarian chili is perfect for cool fall nights.  Serve it by itself, create chili cheese fries or tater tots, or experiment with it over spaghetti noddles for some Cinncinati style chili. Regardless of how you serve it, this vegetarian chili is delicious!

Crock Pot Vegetarian Chili

For week night dinners, I’m always looking for quick and easy meals or those that can be cooked in the slow cooker. This crock pot vegetarian chili is great in a slow cooker.  All the flavors meld together for a great bowl of delicious!

How do you make Chili in a Crock Pot

To make chili in a crock pot, you throw in all of the ingredients and set the slow  cooker to low for at least 6 hours. When you are busy, you set it in the morning and when you get home, this vegetarian chili is ready to serve.

Vegetarian Chili

Sweet potatoes  add a rich, earthy  flavor to this vegetarian chili that compliments the tomatoes and the smokiness of the cumin. There is a pinch of cayenne and cinnamon in this too, but you don’t get any  heat from it. So, it’s perfect for those that like a mild flavor. If you want heat, add more cayenne or add a few hotter peppers  like jalapenos, habaneroes, or chipoltes.

My kids don’t miss the meat protein in chili with this vegetarian chili. The black beans and sweet potatoes come to give it a great texture and flavor. Your family won’t miss it either!

I hope you enjoy this vegetarian chili. It’s sure to be on my meal plans this fall and winter. Try it out and tell me what you think.

Like all chili recipes, this Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili is so much better the next day. You can store in the refrigerator for a few days or place it in the freezer in small portions. I like to eat my chili with fresh cornbread or a cheese quesadilla.
