Vegan One-Pot Bean Chlii (Gluten-Free + Oil-Free) (1)

I have beenlovingchili lately! It is so comforting and perfect to make a batch of for the whole week.

I am all about ease in the kitchen, so saving time whenever possible is always a huge bonus.

I love eating chili straight from the bowl, but recently I wrapped it into a warmed corn tortilla, topped it with some shredded lettuce, and that took the chili to a whole new level!

Ihighly recommend trying that out if your looking for a fun new twist or a way to use up leftovers!

  3. Vegan One-Pot Bean Chlii (Gluten-Free + Oil-Free) (9)Kathy

    Hi! I made this tonight and I didn’t feel it was clear if we added 4 more cups of water when it says to add the rest of the ingredients because of the way it’s written. I went ahead and added 4 cups of vegetable broth and let it simmer a lot longer and it was still delicious, but was hoping you could clarify that for me. Thank you!

    • Vegan One-Pot Bean Chlii (Gluten-Free + Oil-Free) (10)Annie

      Hi Kathy! Yes, you add four more cups of water later. The initial four cups of water you were supposed to drain out. It's in step 2 - so sorry if that was unclear!!
