Chili Recipe

Snack for the 6-11 meeting was PRISM's Easy Chili recipe. I add and subtract different ingredients each time such as ground turkey meat, different color peppers or different kinds of beans such as black, cannellini, etc. Of course if you decide to do that you'll need to adjust the calories accordingly. If you add ground turkey I recommend 1/2 lb per batch.

Below is exactly how it reads in the book.

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 green peppers, chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp water
2 (16 oz) cans unsalted tomatoes, cut up
2 (16 oz) cans kidney beans, drained
1 to 3 Tbsp chili powder, or to taste

Lightly saute fresh vegtables in oil and water until onions are tender. Add tomatoes, beans, and chili powder. Cook, covered, for 1 hour or longer on low heat.
6 servings at 217 calories and 3.0 grams of fat each

Great for the freezer!
