I try to stay away from chili but I would recommend turkey meat and easy on the beans.

This is copied from an email I got from Beach Body a long time ago. I've made it a few times, since my husband and I rarely eat meat and it was really good.

This recipe is great for vegetarians and spice addicts. The beans and veggies give it a great fiber profile. Plus the more you spice it up, the more you can boost your metabolism.

2 tsp. olive or canola oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 28-oz. can crushed tomatoes
3/4 lb. canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 lb. canned white pinto beans, rinsed and drained
Chili powder to taste (about 2 Tbsp.)
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. salt

In a nonstick pan, sauté onion, green pepper, and garlic in oil over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes; cook until tender. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cover, reduce heat to medium/low, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring several times. Makes 6 servings.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 to 40 minutes

I don't follow any recipe when I have made it, but use ground venison instead of beef since its leaner.
