LOVE this recipe. I am not a cooker, but we've been having quite a bit of pot lucks, so I figured, anything with a slow cooker is easy enough for me. Also, with me being a vegetarian it was perfect. I thought it was going to be too runny, but after cooking it, it was perfect! A huge hit at the office! i will definitely be making this again!

My girlfriend and I make this on a regular basis. It is simple, though fantastic.

Did not turn out well at all. Could barely get through bowl of it. Too seasoned with spices...missing something! Very unfulfilling. Will not make again.

This was a great recipe. I did add more hot spices to give it a bit more kick and also a can of chicken broth. An excellent healthy alternative to chili with lots of fatty beef in it!

An absolute hit. Although, I did deviate substantially from the posted recipe. As advised in many other reviews, I eliminated the italian seasonings and used Chili Powder, Cayenne Pepper and Cumin instead. I used two cans of black beans rather than black bean soup and added an extra can of tomatoes as well as a can of tomato puree. It was absolutely delicious. One of my guests said he didn't usually like chili, and another said he liked chili only with meat, but they couldn't eat enough. Yummy!

Vegans AND meat eaters will appriciate this. Hearty, filling and tasty. I used white beans instead of garbanzo and no green pepper(I dont' like green bell pepper) The second time,I used more chili and a dash of cayenne pepper, I like it spicy.I was very surprised at how good this is. Good kept in fridg for leftovers for lunch.

Quick and Easy to make recipe. We used black beans instead of kidney and let it cook on low for 10 hours. I loved the sweetness that the baked beans added. My husband finished it off for lunch the next day.

This recipe was a big hit on a cold, rainy day for my coworkers. I was unable to find the black bean soup and opted for a can of black beans and was also unable to find the crushed tomatoes in puree at the store. Instead, I used chopped tomoatoes chili style and tomatoe paste. I also had to add water and some additional seasoning because it seemed too thick for my liking. I served with sour cream and tostitos scoops and everyone REALLY enjoyed it.

I have four young children who have never eaten beans for me but they devoured this. We will be adding this recipe to our regular menu. I did use lentil soup instead of black bean and it was great!

This is hands-down the best chili recipe that I have ever come across. I make this all of the time. I use black beans instead of black bean soup, and because it is SO THICK, I typically add 2-3 cups of vegetable stock for a little more liquid. And, if you really want meat, it will taste great in this chili. This makes a ton, but you will not get tired of eating it! I make this at least six times a month, which, for me, is a lot! Always a crowd pleaser, and it's just so easy! Thank you!!

I thought the sweetness of the baked beans in this gave it a very weird flavor. I like the ease of the recipe, but not the final product. Maybe I'll play with it a bit and see what happens.

This was a good and easy recipe, but we found that the folks in our house haven't been hungry for the left overs, so I can only give it 4 stars

Vegetarian crockpot recipes are impossible to find and this is a keeper! I cut the garbonzos because it just seemed like too much.

I just made this tonight and it was delicious. I used black beans instead of the black bean soup (since I couldn't find any). I put it in the slow cooker for 2 hours like the recipe said, but the onions and peppers were still crunchy so I'm letting the rest of it cook for a few more hours so that the leftovers will be softer. Otherwise it was great. My husband is a picky eater, especially in regard to beef and chicken, so he loved the beans and the fact that it was vegetarian. I will definitely make this again!

I LOVE this recipe! I'm a college student and this is super easy, cost effective, and it's more than enough for me and my roommates to enjoy! I don't have a crock pot so I just use a large pot and cook on the stove on low for about 3-4 hours. Comes out great! Thanks!

I changed a few things when I made this. I eliminated the oregano, parsley and basil. I increased the chili powder to about 3-4 tablespoons. I added about 3 T. of cumin and lots of salt. I did 1 28 oz. can of diced tomato and 1 can rotel tomato. This came out more like a spicy bean soup. I served it with some cornbread. . .my husband LVOED it. I left it in the slow cooker all day (about 7 hours). I will definitely make this again!!
