Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some healthy - delicious Chili recipes. I wouldn't be diametrically opposed to a stew recipe either. Thanks a lot !

    I made this white chili for a house full of people over Christmas, and got nothing but rave reviews.

    Like the reviews say, it's pretty time consuming but worth the effort. Yummy! I completed the meal with a simple green salad and corn bread.

    I made this BBQ Chicken Chili last week and it was delicious. I cut the recipe in half and omitted the beans. It was fantastic!

    Turkey Chili. I've made it quite a few times.

    I make great chili (most of the time) but I never use a recipe. I just combine ingredients until I'm satisfied. It is different every time.

    This is how I do mine:

    2 pounds of protein of your choice - beef chunks, beef roast, chicken, pork roast, etc
    1 onion, diced
    1 bell pepper, diced
    1 can of diced tomatoes, drained
    1 can of Rotel tomatoes, drained
    1 can light kidney beans, drained
    1 can of dark kidney beans, drained
    2 small cans tomato sauce
    1 small can tomato paste
    Spices: pepper, chili powder, cumin, parsley, garlic, onion... add whatever you like in any quantity

    Place every thing in a slow cooker. Low 6-8 hours, high 4-6 hours. If you use a roast, shred it when done. Serve with cheese, sour cream, green onion, etc.

    Some good ones here. I highly recommend Cooking Light as a source for cooking inspiration.

    Tonight I'm having their Hungarian Beef Stew from the latest issue. Cooked it yesterday and it smelled amazing!

    I use Mrs. Dash chili packet and follow the recipe on the back, but double it. I usually use 1 lb. of hot sausage (not that healthy so you can substitute) and 1 lb of chicken.

    The Mrs. Dash packet makes it so easy that I haven't felt the need to buy all the different spices. Sometimes I'll add an extra can of beans too and some tomato paste. I usually get the crushed tomatoes with Chile peppers for a little extra kick. :)

    The venison chili I made last night (about 10 servings):

    12 oz, venison steak
    1 tbsp. EVOO (or you could use a few slices of bacon and fry those up, using the fat to brown the meat)
    1 cup diced white onion
    1 large clove garlic
    0.75 cup chopped green pepper
    chili spices to taste - chili powder, cumin, coriander (or use a pre-mixed package of slow cooker chili spice mix)
    3 Tbsp tomato paste
    4 cups beef broth (I used homemade prime rib roast stock)
    2 large cans dark red kidney beans
    1 large can diced tomatoes, with juice
    75 g crushed white corn chips (for thickening, so use as much or as little as you want, or use a corn tortilla or cornmeal)

    All my canned stuff is low sodium, and so is my homemade stock.

    Sear the meat, sauté the veg, cook the spices and tomato paste, then add the broth, beans and tomatoes and simmer for a few hours, checking every once in a while to make sure it doesn't stick. Add the chips at the end and cook it for about 15 minutes more until they dissolve.

    Approx 250 cals, 19g protein, 27g carbs, 6 g fat, 250 mg sodium, 6g fiber, and so very yummy!

    There's a really good turkey chili in the Cook This Not That book. I typically screw around a little with the spice (a little extra chili powder mostly...alright, a lot extra), and I've started going with a higher fat turkey for more flavor, but it's really tasty. Try throwing in some frozen corn when you mix in the beans, too.

    I make turkey chili with a pound of ground turkey (browned), half to two-thirds of a jar of mild salsa, a can of dark red kidney beans, a packet of chili seasoning, and then some garlic salt and hot sauce thrown in. I just dump it all in a crockpot and cook it on low until it smells too good to resist :)

    2lbs ground beef
    1 red pepper
    1 green pepper
    1 onion
    1 habenero pepper
    6 cloves garlic
    46oz hot and spicy V8
    3 cans kidney and/or chili beans
    12 oz beer (I like a porter, but have used stouts as well)
    1 dark chocolate candy bar

    brown the ground beef.
    Chop the veggies.

    Throw everything into a stock pot and let it simmer. The longer the better. After about 2 hrs it'll be ready to eat, but IMO, it's best after at least 24hrs.

    Can be done in a slow cooker, but not as good (IMO).

    i'm rule-of-thumb. for every pound of cubed beef, it's minimum 1 of most other things: onion, garlic clove, celery stalk, large can tomatoes, can of black beans, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper. 2 cans of kidney beans though. seasoning is just chili powder, bay leaves and maybe some whatever/oregano if it's lying around.

    i typically sweat the onions gently instead of flash-frying them. and chunks of beef aren't my thing so give it a looooooong headstart with just the seasoning, tomatoes and the liquid from the beans, to make sure it cooks out of all recognition. the peppers go in long after everything else, to keep a little colour and shape. you can add some of the beans early too, if you want them to completely dissolve and thicken things up.

    If you make it the day before then reheat, it gives the spices time to develop and is supposedly more tasty. Although I can't tell the difference tbh :lol:

    WOW!

    I've never really used the community on here much and I'm so impressed. I have about 15 or so chili recipes to work on. Thank you all so very much, this seriously made my day!
