Chili for 12 in cock pot

Here is how to serve 12 for dinner when you are going to be out all day.

I make a big pot of vegetarian chili in the crock pot first thing in the morning.
When it is time to serve, I put out
white corn chips, salsa from a jar, chopped avocado, grated sharp cheddar, quartered limes, sour cream, and lots of chopped cilantro.

Here is the recipe:

In a frying pan:

Saute in olive oil 2 onions and a green pepper and a red pepper
Add chili powder, cumin and cocoa powder to taste(more chili powder than cocoa powder or cumin)
Add a 16 oz package of soy crumbles
Keep stirring until the soy crumbles are really coated in the oil and spices. This is key.

From here on in it is just dumping things in the crock pot

1) The material from the frying pan
2) 2 14 oz cans of chopped tomatoes with mild chilis(del monte)
3) 3 15 oz cans of black beans(rinsed)
4) 4 T strong black coffee (important)
5) 1/2 c vinegar
6) 1 glass jar of Classico tomato sauce

Cook on low in crock pot all day.

If you got home an hour early, you could probably use a regular pot.
