The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Even non-vegans will love this hearty, meatless black bean chili. Cooked in the crock pot means the flavors will be well melded.

I'm not a vegan but I do love a good black bean chili and I usually make my chili meatless anyway. This has a lot of flavor. Very southwestern style.

YUM! I'm a novice cook & this was perfect for me to make for my husband. I added about 1/2 lb of cooked, drained, (& spiced to taste) ground beef, but it would have been just as good w/out the meat. *don't add the beef until the end One problem I had was that I used uncooked beans. You should use canned beans like the recipe implies. Or, if you use uncooked bagged beans like I did, be sure to soak them overnight & THEN BOIL THEM until they are soft (maybe 3 hours?). I am new to cooking & didn't boil them before I put them in the crockpot. They never really got as soft as they should have been. I recommend jalepino/mexican cornbread with the chili...the combo was yummy (& we had great leftovers for days)! BRAVO

Tried this, it's great. I'm not even a vegetarian. I served it with rice, would also be great with fresh bread. I like spicy, so I also added hot sauce.
