    It's says 8 servings, I'm wondering 1/2 cup or 1 cup servings. Sounds delicious, especially with the cooler weather coming!

    Looks almost exactly like my Turkey Chili. I skip the salt and pepper, though. I use only black beans instead, and add some cayenne pepper and Dave's Insanity Sauce, for a little extra oomph. Instead of water I use beer. Then I add some BBQ sauce to cut some of the acid from the tomatos. Ends up a little higher in calories, about 230/serving. I looooooooove chili!

    I just made turkey chili on Sunday! I like to add diced red and green bell peppers and carrots. Ups the vitamin A and C by A LOT!

    Looks good. I like to use 1lb of lean ground meat and 1 lb of venison chili meat...pinto beans and red beans, cayenne pepper, a pinch of cinnamon and a little bit of mustard.

    This sounds great. I would totally add the raw veggies while the meat browns, though, so that it can soak up some of their flavors and nutrients. I'm going to have to try this for sure though. Thanks!
  • bump!! will definetly try...

    Like I've said before you can always tweak it to your liking... the secret is all in the way you make it, just keep it safe and low carb :D

    Enjoy it!
