WW Slow Cooker Vegetarian Lentil Chili
WW Vegetarian Lentil Chili Recipe Notes
This is a hearty, tasty vegetarian chili recipe that is so good, you won't even miss the meat. It calls for lentils, which have a TON of protein and fiber, so in addition to being tasty, this chili is incredibly filling and satisfying.
If you wanted you could also add a can or two of your favorite beans too. I sometimes add a can of rinsed and drained black beans for a little variety.
Dry Brown Lentils
A perfect lazy day recipe, once you add the ingredients to the slow cooker and give it a stir your work is basically done until dinner!
This recipe makes 8 generous servings. If you don't have a crowd to feed, you can portion out the leftovers and freeze them for future quick and easy healthy low calorie WW friendly meals.
Serving Suggestions:
- Top with your favorite chili toppings: cheese, chopped cilantro, diced avocado, chopped onion, light sour cream or plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- Over rice, cauliflower rice, baked potato, zucchini, cornbread, or noodles
- Rolled or stuffed into a tortilla
Additions & Variations
Possible Additions: canned beans, rinsed and drained. Black bean, pinto bean, kidney bean would all work well.
Spicier? Add a chopped jalapeno chili or two and/or bit of cayenne pepper
Different spices? smoked paprika would be nice
