Vegetarian Crockpot Chili Leftovers Recipes

Other than eating dozens of heaping bowls of chili with cornbread, what can you do with all of that Vegetarian Crockpot Chili? There are a multitude of possibilities. A few of my favorites follow.



Chili Casserole 

Leftover chili (about 2.5 C)

9 flour tortillas

2-3 C Mexican cheese



Preheat oven to 425. Coat 13 x 9 baking pan with non-stick spray. Alternate layers of tortillas, chili and cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.



Chili Dogs

1 package Smart Dogs or Tofu Pups tofu hot dogs

1 C leftover chili

1/2 C Mexican cheese

Hot dog buns

Butter



Fry the tofu dogs in a pan over medium heat with butter until the skin is slightly crispy. Remove dogs, top with chili and cheese.



Mexican Stuffed Shells

12 jumbo pasta shells

2.5-3 C leftover chili

Salsa (about 1/2 C)

1 C Sour cream

1 C Mexican cheese



Cook shells according to package directions. Preheat oven to 425. Fill shells with mix of chili, sour cream and cheese. Place shells in a 13 x 9 baking dish. Top with more cheese, any extra mix and salsa. Bake for 30-35 minutes.



Another easy and kid-friendly use is to mix the leftover chili with a package of macaroni and cheese. If anyone has another use for chili leftovers that they are willing to share, please post a suggestion.
