This is probably my all-time favourite chili recipe that's really simple to make since you just throw it all in a slow cooker! This chili is really low in fat, which you may think is a good thing, but the truth is that you need fat in your diet to help keep you feeling full and satisfied (or you'll just be hungry again quickly). So I always try to put some sort of full fat/light shredded cheese or full fat/light sour cream on top of the chili to help balance that out. Without the cheese/sour cream, there's about 280 calories, 45g carbs, 22g protein and 2g fat. Enjoy!
