Football season is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to tailgate! Why not finish up what’s left of summer harvest with this spicy and hearty vegetable chili made in a slow cooker. It’s the perfect dish for your next tailgating or football party.
I have to be honest, I am not a big football fan. I enjoy the parties and the food more than the game itself. But I am married to a football fanatic and NY Giants fan, so football has been a huge part of my life. When football season begins, you will find me in the kitchen cooking up some tasty foods to enjoy on game day. Just like this hearty vegetable chili which I make in my favorite kitchen essential, the slow cooker.
I’ve said it many times, the slow cooker is my friend. Toss all of the ingredients in and turn it on. In a few hours a wonderfully delicious bowl of chili is ready, and if you aren’t ready to eat, it can sit in the slow cooker until you are ready.
Serve this with a spoonful of Greek Yogurt and some guacamole or sliced avocado. Enjoy!
