Top 20 Chili recipes
that are low in fat
My family of 3 boys and my husband refuse to eat anything "healthy"...well I made this tvp chili, but did not tell them what was in it. Well between the 4 of them they finished the pot. So excellent!! Easily used to "fool" non vegetarians!
Instead of baking in the oven, I cooked it in a skillet. Browned the onions with a bit olive oil and garlic first, next browned carrots and celeries; then added remaining ingredients, brought to a boil, and simmered for about 30 minutes. Very tasty and filling, I had it with a few warm corn tortillas. Yum!
Note: 15 bean mixtures are available packaged in supermarkets and health food stores. If you prefer, make your own by combining equal amounts of dried blackeyed peas, red kidney beans, white kidney beans (cannellini), green lentils, split peas, black beans, yellow split peas, navy beans, cranberry (Roman, shell, or shell out) beans, great Northern beans, pinto beans, small white limas, red lentils, cow peas (field peas), and pink beans. Avoid using beans such as garbanzos and large lima beans, as these take longer to cook than other varities.
