1-2 dried chipotle chilis (soak in ¼ cup hot water for 15 minutes, then mince)
½ tsp salt (or more to taste)
½ tsp pepper (or more to taste)
Toppings
Diced avocado, green onions, tomatoes
Instructions
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet and saute the onions, green pepper, jalapeño, and garlic for about five minutes. Throw them in the crockpot. In the same skillet crumble and brown the veggie sausage and add that to the crockpot. Add everything else. Cook on low anywhere from 3-8 hours stirring occasionally, or simmer in a pot on the stove for an hour.
Notes
For a bit more chipotle flavor, I also throw in the ¼ cup water that the chili was soaking in.
