This simple chili is rich and full of flavor, in spite of the fact that it contains no meat. Protein crumbles are an excellent substitute for ground beef, and provide wonderful nutrition too. Try this vegetarian Crockpot Chili soon!

Potluck Success, Member lislynch

I live in a small town in rural Alaska. Food is very expensive here so it's great to find a recipe that won't break the bank. Best of all, it was a big success at the potluck. I got lots of complements. The biggest complement,at the end of potluck there were no leftovers.
