MEATIEST VEGETARIAN CHILI FROM YOUR SLOW COOKER

Meatiest Vegetarian Chili From Your Slow Cooker image

This is one of the best, easiest, and tastiest vegetarian chili recipes I've ever tasted. Whenever I make it, my friends devour it. Best eaten with tortilla chips, Cheddar cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. What a treat! The recipe creator's name is Doc Meromorphic. He is a good friend of my family.
