Beyond Meat Slow Cooker Chili

Trying out a few quarantine / work from home vegan recipes, and thought this recipe looked like one of the best and easiest options:

Recipe

1 can pinto beans
1 can diced tomatoes (with green chilies)
1 cup (or 1 pack) Beyond Meat crumbles
1/4 cup water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (or a few drops of liquid smoke)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
nutritional yeast, salt & pepper to taste

Add everything to your slow cooker and heat on low for 7-9 hours. Season with nutritional yeast & salt & pepper; serve over rice if desired.

Note that you may need to stir it up about an hour in - Beyond Meat can clump up a bit, but if you break it up then you should be all set.

Notes

Turned out really well!  A little on the dry side, but maybe because it was in a thin layer at the bottom of the somewhat oversized crockpot.  Would probably double in the future although that starts to be a lot of crumbles...
