Vegetarian Slow Cooker Chili

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 cup brown rice
    1 1/2 cups kidney and/or pink beans, pre-soaked (or from can)
    1 - 14 ounce can diced tomatoes
    1 - 14 ounce can diced green chiles
    3/4 cup imitation bacon bits
    2 small to medium onions or 1 large onion
    4 cloves garlic
    1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1 tablespoon salt
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
    A few sprigs fresh cilantro (optional)
    Water

Directions:

1) Dice the onion finely.  Mince the garlic.  Put everything in the slow cooker. 

My slow cooker holds 3.5 quarts -- I filled it to the top with water.  If your slow cooker is bigger, adjust accordingly.  Cook on low for 12 hours.

Note: I never measure my spices, so I'm guesstimating how much I put in.  This chili came out really well, and my friends liked it too
