Making vegetarian chili in the crockpot is very similar to cooking up a batch stovetop, though you do need to add a bit more liquid. Adjust the seasonings to taste, of course, and add extra veggies if you prefer. This is a basic meatless chili recipe for the slow cooker. It's cholesterol-free, low-fat and high in fiber and protein for vegetarians and vegans.
