Quick and Easy Vegi Chili

By , December 2, 2007 10:48 am

I will be attending a pot-luck this afternoon, so I’ve whipped up a batch of meatless chili. It’s cooking away as I write this and I can hardly wait to give it a taste in a few hours.

The rough recipe is as follows:


1 onion (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 can (796ml) crushed tomatoes
1 can (796ml) diced tomatoes
1 can (341ml) whole kernel corn (drained)
1 can (284ml) mushrooms (drained)
1 can (540ml) Six Bean Medely (drained)
1 can (540ml) White Kidney Beans (drained)
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
4 tbsp Club House Tex Mex Seasoning

Combine all ingredients into crock pot. Cook on high for 1 hour, then reduce to low for another 4 to 8 8 to 12 hours. Enjoy.

Edit: Slow cookers take a while to really make everything just right - under 8 hours won't do it for this recipe. Also, for those who want a little meat in their chili you can replace the second can of beans with the equivalent in browned beef or chicken. Make sure you cook thoroughly if you do that.

Don’t eat the chocolate acid … I mean eggs!

Seriously, watch out for the Easter favorite: Cadbury chocolate eggs!

Cadbury has issued a recall for several of the yummy eggs because they contain not so yummy sharp pieces of plastic.

See this CBC article to see which products are covered by the recall and whom to contact.
