Notes

As with many chilis, this tastes better on the second day, so consider making it in advance.
You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to four days or in the freezer for up to three months.
If you don't own a crockpot, you can prepare this on the stove by cooking the vegetables and then simmering the ingredients for 30 minutes.
