Veggie Chili

I made this chili this week with whatever I had on hand in terms of veggies. This is EXTREMELY versatile. The original recipe came from Katie Crokus’ Easiest Ever Rainbow Chili.

Of course, I took the basic recipe and did my own thing. I’m such a rebel like that. Actually, I am just a bad planner. Something will sound good to me, or I will realize I have certain foods that need to be used. I will draw some inspiration from a recipe or two and do my thing. Most of the time this works out well. There are definitely some flops here and there of course. There is for sure a lot of “how can I do this better’s!”

I cooked this in the instapot and would highly recommend doing the same. It was perfect!
