Chili - Perfect Food? YUM
I made a huge crockpot of chili and I think it has to be a perfect food for protein and filling you up..Here's my recipe...well McCormicks lol
2 large cans pinto beans
2 large cans kidney beans
2-3 large cans tomato sauce (depending on how thick you like your chili) - no sugar added
1 can tomato chunks
1 lb ground turkey breast
3-4 packs McCormicks Chili Seasoning - they even have low sodium...
You can add additional veggies if you'd like, like corn and green peppers.
I will freeze bowls of it and have my own "frozen meals."
I top with a little low fat cheddar - It's delicious
Chili is on my menu often. It was before and after surgery. It really is a nice option nutritionally and flavorfully :) I like to top mine with a tiny dollop of 0% Plain Greek Yogurt. It gives it a nice creamy sour cream flavor, but with extra protein and without the extra calories. I make mine with both lean ground chicken & lean ground beef. I cannot stomach ground turkey, personally.
