Slow-Cooker Vegetarian Chili

iPlayFlonkerton's Note:

This is one of my own recipes, and one that I'm particularly proud of. It's not very spicy, so you can alter the spices as you like. This is great served with corn bread, and the leftovers make great nachos! I'm the only vegetarian in the family, but everyone else loves it!
