Warm up with the hearty and flavorful Slow Cooker Teff Chili with Delicata Squash. This chili, made with teff grains, is naturally gluten-free.

I love a thick and hearty chili and with the leaves finally turning colors I’m ready to put on a comfy sweater and curl up with a bowl. This chili is full of flavor and it gets its stick to your ribs feeling from the teff and millet which actually mimics ground meat. Freeze the extras for last minute meals on nights that you can’t cook from scratch.

Instructions

  1. Add the kidney beans, pinto beans, cannellini beans, pumpkin puree, teff, millet, onion, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic, cumin, and cayenne to the crock of your 4-quart slow cooker.
  2. Cook on low 7 to 8 hours. Note: if you might be home late add an additional ½ cup water to give you some leeway.
  3. Before serving: stir in the nutritional yeast, tomato paste, oregano, and jalapeño powder. Stir well, then add salt to taste.
  4. You can serve as is in a bowl with a side of tortillas, in tacos, or even in a chili mac!

Some of the grains may stick on the bottom of your slow cooker. Just soak overnight and it will clean up easily in the morning.
