The rest of the recipe is finished in a slow cooker. I know, I know - it's time for a new one. I've had this Presto for almost 20 years - my sweet mother in-law gave it to me when I moved into my first apartment in college. Well, it may not be pretty, but it still works great!

The result - a beautiful, healthy bowl of delicious chili. I love to top mine with chopped cilantro and toasted pumpkin seeds. Yum!
