Expert Tips

Tomatoes and tomato products keep dry beans and other legumes from softening even after hours of cooking. That's why we wait until the beans and lentils are tender before adding the canned tomatoes and tomato sauce in this recipe.

Add corn muffins from the bakery to round out this make-ahead meal.

What an easy and tasty recipe. I added onions, garlic and cumin. Superb. We are always looking for delicious, inexpensive slow cooker meals. I really love most of the chili recipes on the Betty Crocker site.

Husband forgot to add the tomato and tomato sauce and he and the kids still loved it. A good alternative for a meatless dish and a sneaky way to introduce some new foods in the kid's diet. My kids locked the garbanzo beans.

I made this chili and it was delicious. I added onions & banana peppers to it! My husband is a meat lover and I am not and he actually enjoyed it. It has all the good flavors of what chili tastes like without the meat. I will for sure be making this chili again!:)
