Chili - Healthy Makeover
Saturdays are filled with college football in our house, so I instantly thought chili would be a great meal for today. Cookinglight.com offers a chili recipe that they say , "... cuts 70 percent of the calories, 70 percent of the total fat, and 83 percent of the unhealthy saturated fat from traditional chili recipes."
Of course I had to try it. It was so satisfying!
We had a crazy day today, so I started preparing the recipe in my crock pot. I used ground turkey and 2 left over cooked chicken breasts, instead of ground turkey and ground top sirloin. I threw them together in the crock pot with a can of no-salt added tomato sauce and continued on with my day. When I got home the chicken and ground turkey were cooked and shredded. Perfect! I followed the directions from the video, but I also added one green pepper diced when I sauteed the onions. After finishing the recipe, I separated the chili into two pots, one for the boys and one for my husband and I. I added cayenne pepper to my pot just to spice it up a little. Top it with some cheese and enjoy!
