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!

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.

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 tsp. cumin

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.

      Thanks Aggie! I know..I don’t want to wish for fall because it means winter is around the corner but I do love those crisp fall days!

    This 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!
