Actually, my version is much healthier because I use my own canned tomatoes (no salt); and I cook my own dry beans (no salt).

SOUNDS GOOD. sam
ReplyDeleteWell, that sounds a lot like my chili recipe. I add cumin and also cocoa powder and sugar - secret ingredients. ha. I usually thrown in a bunch of stuff from the fridge too - little bit of ketchup, a little Worcestershire - and all that jazz. Kinda like spaghetti sauce - whatever is sitting around. ha. That sounds good. We need to make some chili here. I don't think we have made it this year yet.
ReplyDeletethat's great. finally a healthy chili! woo hoo! ty for sharing.
ReplyDeletesounds good! very similar to my recipe. i like your idea of using the dried beans (= no salt). great idea! my home canned tomatoes have only(?) a tsp of salt each quart. However, this year if we're so blessed with tomatoes, i think we'll delete the salt altogether. who needs that stuff anyway?! -Tammy
