About the Recipe
Different take on chili
Ingredients
Choice of beans! - I used Black beans, lentils, and navy beans
Prefer fresh mushrooms - canned mushrooms will work in a pinch
Tomatoes - fresh if you have them! I use the jumbo can from Costco/Sam's Club etc.
1 White Onion
Sea Salt
Pepper
Chili powder of your choice
2 Garlic cloves or powder - to taste
Shredded cheese
OPTIONAL: Ground Beef / Turkey/Chicken OR Andouille Sausage
Preparation
Soak the beans until they are soft - this may take 24 hours (I also cook in the water if needed to help to speed up the soaking process) check beans are soft (no crunchy ones - mine were aldente! so I ate around the beans.)
Once beans are soft drain the water then add all other ingredients and cook minimum 6 hours in the slow cooker to have flavor combined to your desired taste!
Serve with shredded cheese and enjoy!
