Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup bulgur wheat
2 cups yellow onion (diced)
2 cups sliced white button mushrooms
1/2 cup red bell pepper (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup strong brewed coffee
1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 14 oz. can kidney beans (drained)
1 14 oz. can pinto beans (drained)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red cayenne pepper (or to taste)
Bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
A few turns fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the bulgur in a medium bowl and pour two cups boiling water over the top. Let soak for 15 minutes, then drain and squeeze the bulgur dry.
  • Add the bulgur along with all of the other ingredients to your slow cooker/Crock Pot. Stir. Cook on low for 8 hours and add additional salt and black pepper to taste. Remove bay leaf and serve with your favorite chili toppings. We like it topped with shredded sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and a little cilantro.

I've made this chili several times and it's always a hit. It's a great recipe to have on hand for busy weeknights.

This chili is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the bulgur and they didn't even notice the veggies.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed this vegetarian chili. It was packed with flavor and the bulgur made it very filling.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover bulgur. It's also a very affordable meal to make.

This chili was a huge disappointment. The flavors were bland and the bulgur was mushy. I won't be making this again.

I thought this chili was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not a big fan of chili, but this recipe changed my mind. The bulgur added a nice texture and the flavors were spot-on. I'll definitely be making this again.

I was skeptical about using bulgur in chili, but I'm so glad I tried it! It added a great nutty flavor and texture. I'll definitely be making this again.

This bulgur chili was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the bulgur added a nice texture. I'll definitely be making this again.
