Vegan Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Quinoa Chili

My husband.....he did it again!

He's the king of the crockpot and made another vegan-friendly slower cooker meal like my latest post: Vegan Slow Cooker Mexican-Style Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili.
​
This blog post will be short and sweet, just like this recipe. When he told me what type of ingredients he would use, I became skeptical. Baked beans in chili? The hint of sweetness combined with the cumin and chili powder ignites the dance between sweet-n-heat. 

Quinoa soaks up the broth after 24 hours of sitting. You can use the remaining 1 cup of broth to make it soupy each time you heat the chili. I'm very proud of his work and felt that I had to feature this recipe. The crockpot is one of the easiest to use and most effective kitchen tools for busy people, and one goal is for Mind Body Soul Food to keep sharing easy and affordable recipes for the family.
