I was raised in a "meat and potatoes" household. Red meat and potatoes were on the menu four to five nights a week and meat was always included in every meal, with the exception of breakfast. It wasn't until I met my future husband's family that I realized people didn't have meat with every meal. Unfortunately I never found meatless meals able to fully satisfy my hunger, so I steered clear of them...
When I became responsible for cooking for my own family, I started experimenting with more lean-meat dinners. I enjoy incorporating new flavors into our menu each week and watching Angeline expand her pallet. Then I was challenged by Silk to the #MeatlessMondayNight Challenge. Adopting a more plant-based diet can start with making a change just one day a week – so why not start by sidelining meat during Monday Night Football games this season? Not only can plant-based diets be good for people and better for the planet, but as we learned, they taste amazing too! I decided to keep it simple for my first dish and went with a Meatless Black Bean Chili Recipe! Plus, since I like doing the dishes about as much as I like doing my taxes, I turned this recipe into a one-pot meal just for you, you can thank me later!

One of the things I love about this One-Pot Meatless Black Bean Chili Recipe is that it's thick and hearty. Your kids won't even notice the absence of meat!
Fall is such a busy time of year and I know that we are all looking for quick and easy recipes - this recipes only takes 30 minutes BUT if you have the time to let it stew in the slow cooker all day it only gets more delicious!
