This is a good and hearty chili for a cold day like today, and very well enjoyed. I liked the combination of zucchini, lentils and black beans with the rest of the ingredients. I don't have a crockpot, but I do have a heavy duty pot my family uses for slow simmering stews, and the chili turned out really amazing!

This was amazing! I loved it. The only problem I had was getting the ingredients in the right size amounts. I had to use about 2 1/2 14.75 oz cans of stewed tomatoes, and a little less than 2 8oz cans tomato sauce.

so delicious! i doubled the black beans, because we love them and used a whole basket of baby portabella mushrooms and omitted the cilantro leaf because i didn't have any on hand. the only thing was that is was a little watery - will drain beans next time to see if that helps thicken it. will definitely be making this again - soooo easy and sooooo delicious! thanks!

This is the first time I ever used a crockpot. It was so easy and everyone liked it - even my ten-year old. I could not find lentils so I doubled the black beans. It was great!

Wow! Easy to make, spicy and hearty. You don't miss the meat. And so healthy it is dangerous.
