Arliss the Disapproving turns 12

Welcome to 2012! First, Arliss let us live to see another year. And now it's her 12th birthday!
I had another request for my vegetarian crock pot chili recipe, so I thought I'd post it here: 2 small to medium onions, coarsely chopped 1 pkg Boca "ground beef" soy crumbles (14 oz) 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 small can chopped green chiles OR 4 tsp diced chiles in adobo sauce OR 3/4 cup finely diced green peppers 28 oz canned diced tomatoes 28+ oz canned black, kidney, great northern, or whatever beans 8 oz can tomato sauce 1 tsp ground cumin 1+ tbsp chili powder salt and pepper to taste Worcestershire and paprika... I just kind of throw it in, never really measured it! Combine all ingredients in slow cooker on high for 4 hrs or low for 8 hrs. (The crock pot is forgiving so feel free to cook longer.) You can also pre-saute the onions, garlic, and spices and then put them in the crock pot. I think the recipe is great without the Boca crumbles too, but might call for more beans that way. I like to serve with cornbread!
