Vegetarian Chili

One of our family favorites as we move into "chili-er" weather. Always a winner at the chili cook-offs too...

In a crock pot, stir together:

Chopped veggies:
2 small zucchinis (I sometimes use a yellow squash in place of a zucchini)
1 green pepper
1 onion
3 stalks celery

Add and stir:
2-3 t chili powder
1 t oregano
1/2 t cumin

Add and stir:
2 - 14 oz cans diced tomatoes
1 - 10 oz bag frozen corn
1 - 15 oz can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 c salsa

Cook on low for 8-10 hours
or
Cook on high 4-5 hours
I have found when cooked on high for about 5 1/2 hours - it is just right.

Top with sour cream, avocado, cheese, etc...
