OUR FAVORITE HEALTHY SLOW COOKER RECIPE

Sure, this skinny black bean chili is packed with healthy ingredients your body craves to stay in tip top shape. It’s no secret that eating things like beans, corn, red bell pepper and celery is good for us.

But what makes this homemade chili recipe a complete powerhouse isn’t just the obvious health benefits.

Nope… There are two other big factors at play that render this vegetarian chili one of our all time favorite slow cooker recipes.

And that combination is the assertive, south-of-the-border spice mixture – and the fact that this just so EASY to make.

Yep – using your Tiger multi cooker to whip up this slow cooker chili is a game changer!

It embodies the home-chef’s foodie trifecta of being super healthy, unbelievably easy-to-make – and absolutely loaded with flavor.

HOW TO MAKE CHILI IN A RICE COOKER

You may be wondering… Is rice cooker chili an actual thing?

You bet it is! Simply load all your ingredients for this smoky and simple chili recipe into the inner pot of your Tiger rice cooker – and use the Slow Cook setting for two hours. Then open, stir and serve. That’s it!

Now – your work can be done there if you want.

However, we have a pro tip: for the absolute best thick and hearty texture, transfer about a cup of your cooked vegan chili to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.

Place the blended chili back into the rice cooker and stir together. This not only thickens the chili, but gives it a texture that almost mimics a chili con carne.

Trust us, though, you won’t miss the meat!
