Holli Thompson - Vegetarian Chili

Vegetarian Chili

One of my clients assembles this dish in her slow cooker so that dinner is ready to go when she gets home that evening.

The portobello mushrooms add a meaty texture and the rice makes it a hearty meal.

Preparation
1. You can saute the vegetables and spices first in the oil or if you’re short on time, add everything to the slow cooker at once and cook on low for 8–10 hours or on high temperature for 4–5 hours.

2. Add the rice during the final hour.

Serve hot!
