Three Bean Fire Roasted Chili is a hearty and healthy vegetarian chili that is perfect for those cool fall days
School is back in full swing and fall is in the air!
When I think of fall I think of tailgating (more for the food and beer than the football), pumpkin everything, warm and comfy sweaters, brisk fall air, apple picking, apple cider—ok apple anything! Fall means this and so much more…I just love it!
Three Bean Fire Roasted Chili
This vegetarian chili screams fall to me! You can serve it at the tailgate, on a cold fall night, as leftovers for lunch or to warm everyone up after apple picking. What makes this chili even better? You make it in the slow cooker—which is music to my ears–especially on those extra busy days.
I really like the flavor of fire roasted tomatoes—it gives this chili a bold flavor and the beans make it a hearty vegetarian dish.

- 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 1 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. thyme
- 1 tsp. oregano
- 1–16oz can of water (optional depending on how thick or thin you like your chili)
Instructions

- Cook in the slow cooker on low for 6 hours.

Notes
For the water–I use one of the empty 16oz bean cans to add water to the chili. I like my chili thick but not too thick. Use your judgement based on what you like.

September 5, 2013 at 3:23 pmThis looks fantastic! I need a good slow-cooker chili recipe for the fall. This just fit the bill. I am not going to lie, I am kind of sad I will be missing out on the good pumpkin beers this fall season. I know you feel my pain.

September 11, 2013 at 4:08 pmYou know, I love chili very much. I cook it according to the same recipe but I often add pieces of beef and it makes my chili even more nourishing and tasty. How do you manage to make the sauce that thick?

September 16, 2013 at 9:24 amThis is a delicious recipe that comes out thick and tomato-y — definite stuck to my ribs in a good way on a lazy football-watching Sunday evening. Next time I make it (and you better believe there will be a next time), I will sauté the onions a bit first to soften them a little. However, with a little cornbread made in a bread machine, this no-fuss meal is a WINNER!
