Slow Cooker Vegetarian Chilli Beans
Recipe by:
rob land
This fantastic chilli beans recipe has been honed over 15 years of cooking laziness - prepared in 5 minutes and aged to perfection in a slow cooker. Stir it every couple of hours (if you're in the house) to help fuse flavours and eliminate any pot-sticking. Perfect for use with nachos, tacos, dips etc. You can use a tin of lentils instead of the vegetarian mince.
Salsa Dip
I adapted this recipe from an existing one and my kids absolutely love it and it's really easy and healthy.
