We decided to use fire roasted tomatoes and chili powder for a bolder flavor that is well associated with the best of chilis. Save this recipe for the next time you are invited to a chili cook off, or for the next time you want a one-pot dish that is easy to make and does not skimp on the flavor!

Doesn’t it look delicious? and it’s bariatric friendly chili!

For those who might not like tomato chunks in their chili, you can always blend them before adding them to the pot, that way you do not miss out on this key ingredient. If you prefer a thicker chili, separate about ½ of a can of the beans and blend them. Adding the beans back into the pot works as a perfect thickening agent without adding the calories of flour or heavy cream, other ingredients often used to thicken sauces and soups. The more you make the recipe, the closer you get to your perfect combination! How fun is cooking? Not as fun as eating this dish we hope! Enjoy!
