Crockpot Vegetarian Chili With Beans And Brown Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups dry mixed beans (I used a mix of pinto and cranberry)
1 large onion, coarsely diced
3 garlic cloves, smashed (more or less to preference)
1 chicken bouillon cube (ham seasoning if you have it! sub veg bouillon if vegetarian)
6 cups water
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo, diced (~2 chiles)
1/2 - 1 cup diced tomato
1 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 cup brown rice, cooked

Preparation

1.\tCombine beans, onions, garlic, bouillon, and water in crock pot. Cook on LOW for 6 hours (or more-I cooked the beans overnight).
2.\tAdd remaining ingredients except rice, continue to cook on low for 1-2 hours. Add more water if needed, you want it to be pretty soupy since the rice will absorb a lot of liquid.
3.\tJust before serving, add brown rice and stir to combine.
4.\tGarnish with chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of sharp cheddar, diced green onions.
