Super Easy Slow Cooker Veggie Chilli

Super Easy Slow Cooker Bean Chilli with Courgettes & Peppers

Ideal to warm you up from the inside out with a bit of spice and heat. Chilli can help burn away built up mucas during winter and potentially give your metabolism a boost! If you suffer with acid or heartburn, or are feeling very irritable and hot headed, I would suggest taking it easy on the spice!

Vegetarian (or vegan without traditional sour creme)

Serves approx 6

Ingredients

2 tins of black bean or kidney beans (or 1 of each)

1-2 fresh chillies (depending on spice preference), chopped

2 x 500g passata

1 tablespoon tomato puree

Optional:

1 avocado slices to garnish
