It's January, you know what that means ... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Time to warm up ‘them bones’ with some warm, cozy, DELICIOUS crock pot eats!
Something that we love to make in the crock pot that utilizes many of the vegetables that cross our path here at Monmouth County Organic Co Op is VEGETARIAN CHILI
CROCK POT MEGA VEGGIE CHILI DUMP ‘N’ GO
Ingredients:
The main stars of the show:
onions - white, red, or both
bell peppers (any combination of colors)
as many types of mushrooms as you can muster
zucchini
broccoli
carrot
celery
sweet potatoes
white potatoes
**A personal favorite: Jerusalem Artichokes a.k.a. sun chokes. *Slow cooking helps break down the inulin and thus making the sun chokes more digestible
kidney beans
black beans
pinto beans
**Canned beans are best for this recipe. Dried beans are not recommended to be placed directly into the slow cooker without par boiling, as they contain high levels of phytohaemagglutinin, a lectin that can make you sick.
