It is winter time and what goes better on a cold, snowy night than a nice hot bowl of chili? I put this recipe together with the idea of really enjoying a hearty meal that is light on the mid-section. I did serve this with brown rice and although the rice adds calories, brown rice is much healthier then white rice so you can enjoy. Stay warm and enjoy!
