This was great! Thanks so much for this recipe. I have two vegetarian kids and I'm always looking for something new that will get them their protein. I put in some meatless crumbles too. My husband is a meat eater and he had two helpings and loved it too. YUM!

This is my favorite chili recipe ever, and I love that it's vegetarian! It seriously does look like chili with beef. My husband actually craves this chili now. I've been trying many different recipes over the past month and this one takes the cake by far. Thank you for sharing such a great tasting recipe :-)

Came out delicious! Halved the recipe for my boyfriend and I, but still had leftovers!! To satiate his carnivorous hunger I ended up adding browned, ground turkey at the last minute! Would have been perfect without though! 

Thank you!

If you half the recipe, does the cooking time change at all? Only cooking for one and I have a smaller crockpot. Thanks!

I didn't have all the ingredients you listed, but I worked with what I had, and your recipe gave me inspiration! Thanks a lot! What a great way to add some protein in without meat :-)

I omitted carrots and added mushrooms.  Also used 1 can black beans and 1 can kidney beans.  This recipe is soooooo delicious!  Definitely my new go-to vegan chili recipe.  Thanks for sharing!

Hello,

This recipe made me spank my wife!

Thanks,

Bon and the kids!

<p>Bon &#8211; It&#8217;s great to hear that you tried the recipe. Spanking though, I gotta tell you, sure sounds like an unexpected side effect. Let&#8217;s just hope that it was all consensual! ????</p>


Tried this today and will definitely make again. I halved the recipe because my slow cooker is teeny tiny! I also used one can of diced tomatoes. I will use the full amount of quinoa next time and half all the other ingredients as there was too much liquid after cooking for my liking  :) thanks Christine!!

New favorite vegetarian chili! The lentils &amp; quinoa add awesome texture, it has the prefect amount of seasoning for me and is beyond easy to throw together. Thanks for sharing!

This has become our favorite Chili, and so versatile.  My husband asks me to make this as he can use any leftovers as a dip for tortilla chips.  He tops it with  sour cream and cheese.

This chili is SO good! You do not miss the meat at all! Honestly will not be making regular chili again after making this recipe. I am lazy so I just threw everything in the crockpot and the flavor was still great.

This is one of my favorite recipes. I just bought an Instant Pot and tried it out in there. It was done when I checked it after 8 minutes!

SO good! I threw everything in the crockpot and used a can of crushed tomatoes instead to make it easier on me. It tastes better than beef chili! It’s great leftover and frozen too. It will be a staple this fall!

Delicious. Did not have fresh tomatoes so used canned that I drained mostly. Also used one can of black beans and one of cannelllini beans. Topped with avocado, greek yogurt, cilantro, and lime (vs. lemon). Husband is not a big soup/stew eater but he went for seconds. Spice level worked for him -- I added hot sauce (Peri-peri chili lime accented the lime I squeezed into it) Will definitely be making this again, especially since it's so high in protein.

So easy and so flavorful. Great recipe for new vegans or vegetarians, you will swear someone snuck some meat in there because it tastes so meaty and savory. Great for a cold fall or winter night. Perfect with some avocado, cilantro, and lime on top and a side of tortilla chips.

This is now my go to recipe for entertaining when I am broke. Last time I made it I served it with a dollop of yogurt and avocado w/ tortilla chips on the side. This time I am going to serve it with some creamy polenta for dinner for the family, and with chips &amp; guacamole with chips for the guests.
Thanks!!

This was great. I omitted the tomato paste and coriander as I didn’t have them. I added a jalapeño, smoked paprika and some and pepper. I only used about 2 T. Of chili powder as I had some homemade chili seasoning to use up and I also added about a t. of bouillon. I also used a whole can of no salt corn with liquid instead of frozen, one can of pinto instead of two cans of black beans, one large tomato along with a 14 oz can of petite diced tomatoes with liquid. Green lentils worked great as well as red quinoa. Four cups of broth was plenty with the extra liquid from the corn and tomatoes. I served with cheese, sour cream and corn chips.

I’ve been this recipe so many times last like 4 years!  it’s my favorite!! I am wondering can I half it? If so would it be less time.

Thank you for a staple recipe

I made this for a gathering last night, and cooked it exactly as the recipe stated except that I forgot to buy corn at the store and I rinsed the quinoa before adding it to the crockpot. It was easy and absolutely delicious, and multiple guests left the party with the link to make it for themselves. I was counting on some leftovers for my lunch today, and there weren't any.

I'll definitely be making this again and again. It's a fantastic recipe.

Hello Christine;  I am in Spain and the formats of the ingredients are different, so could you tell me how many grams.  are the black beans? and if I start them from scratch, I soak 8 hours, would it also be 8 hours on low?  Thanks in advance precious and take good care of yourself.  By the way, I just subscribed.  Greetings

I've been loving and using this recipe! I do thinking it a little bit with some flour. Also the prep time is way off unless you have a kitchen full of elves!!
