Anyone know of any healthy, quick, and easy recipes for Chili?? If so, please share! Thanks!

chili is so easy to make, just put healthy ingrdients in it, leave out things you would rather not eat. add some seasoning (cinnamon enchances greatly) simmer.

basicly all you need some kind a meat
tomatos , spices

You can use canned beans , but try not to, making it as healthy as possible is best. Soak beans over night. I read this recipe somewhere but I have modified it.
Ingredients:
1 cup black eye beans
1.5 cup red beans
1.5 garbanzo beans
6 Medium size tomatoes
3 table spoon tomato paste
cilantro for garnishing
1.5 Onion
6 gloves of garlic
2 cups chopped celery
1 small lime * tip microwave lime for 30 seconds, let it sit a bit and the juice will flow right out when you use it.
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 table spoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt (add to taste)
1 medium size carrot , chopped however you like.

In a blender/food processor blend six large tomatoes, the juice of one lime,6 gloves of garlic, 1 cup of chopped celery, a medium onion and tomato paste. (Add hot sauce or chili pepper if you prefer it spicy) In another pot add olive oil and let heat up for a minute and half or until its hot, put in onion and celery, let it cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes and then add your beans, stir and proceed to add your tomato mix from blender/food processor. Stir it all together, and add 2 cups of water, add carrot.If you notice the water is less than the beans add more water. Cook on medium heat for an hour to 1 1/2 hours. Cooking time depends on how well the beans have boiled. If you use canned beans the cooking time will be less. You can also add some the seasoning you have in your pantry, like basil, Italian seasoning and also some parsley. these add wonderful flavors to the chili. Hope I was able to help. Enjoy!
