Crock Pot Black Bean Chili Recipe
This Crock Pot Black Bean Chili recipe tastes awesome. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a chili recipe so much.
I love black beans. So making a crock pot black bean chili recipe is another way to enjoy black beans at their best. Simmered in a slow cooker with pork stew meat, onions, peppers, and spices is a lovely way to enjoy these little legumes.
You can make this crock pot chili recipe vegetarian if you'd rather leave out the pork. If you decide to make a crock pot vegetarian black bean chili you should add more onions and peppers to make up for the loss of flavor from the pork.
You may also need to add a bit more of the spices. Towards the end of the cooking time take a taste and add a little more chili powder to your liking.
