chunky low fat chili
I make chili quite often. I make all different types. I love making chili because you can use so many different ingredients. This chili has a kick to it. It isn’t overly spicy. I used ground chicken and very lean ground beef. It is delicious combined with black beans and pinto beans. I make a huge pot. I give some to my daughter, and I freeze the rest after a meal. My family loves my chili. I hope you do too. This recipe makes a very large pot. You may cut the recipe in half before making it. Enjoy!
