This chili bursts with flavour, uses extremely cheap ingredients, and really only requires you to put ingredients into a crockpot/slow cooker, and walk away until it’s done (although as the aromas develop, you certainly won’t forget that you have something cooking)! Because all of the ingredients (with the exception of a fresh onion) are either dried or canned, this is also a perfect choice for a self quarantine meal.
We served our chili with blue corn toritllas, but it would also go well over cornbread, a baked potato, or even riced cauliflower!
Time: 6-8 Hours
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Cup of Dried Chickpeas
- 1/2 Cup of Dried Navy Beans

Method:

- Dice and add your onion to the party.
- Pour in your water, and set your crockpot to low with the lid on.
