Made this for my vegetarian daughter. She loved it! Took just a few minutes to chop and throw everything in crock pot and presto! I too used a variety of beans. My one negative with this recipe was the carrots. Pineapple! who knew? Yum!

This was my first time eating chili EVER! Loved it! I added about 3 cloves of garlic, 1 zuchini, and some chopped celery & only used 1 can of beans (Organic chili beans - pinto, black and kidney). The main reason I avoid chili is because of the beans. I love the pineapple - it gives it a sweet, tangy taste. Thanks so much for the recipe.

This chili was super tasty and the very best part was the pineapple. How unexpected! It gave the chili a sweetness and a little hint of citrus. I made it with a can each of kidney beans, black-eyed peas, and black beans and felt that this variance added interest. It's very easy, just chop and throw into the slow cooker, set it on high and a few hours later - voila chili! I also added 3 cloves of garlic and a little bit of dark chocolate. Next time I may kick it up with a bit of cayenne pepper and/or a diced jalapeno.
