Hi Friends!
Chili is not only so easy to make, fast, budget friendly but one of the healthiest dishes!
Virtually no fat and loaded with tons of protein, fiber and antioxidants, it’s no wonder that chili is so popular.
Here is a smokier version… the liquid smoke and smoked paprika adds to a delightful flavor.
The chipolte chilies add a nice kick of heat… want more or less heat, just reduce the number of chilies you add.
This chili is actually better if made slow and low or in a crock pot and let it simmer all day but it can be made in a flash and still packs lots of flavor. How versatile is that?
