Chili Recipes    (200 Recipes)

This is a recipe that I have been experimenting with and tweaking for years. Always a family favorite and they didn't even notice the difference when I re-invented it using low fat ingredients and turkey instead of beef.

The best thing about this meal is how much fun you can have making it. Since it is more of a "stew" I have added all kinds of different vegetables and sometimes even put left over pot roast in with it. Have fun and be creative!

hearty and healthy "white chili"

Part piggie, part chili, fully tasty!

This recipe can also easily be made on the stove.

I took the Low Sodium Vegetarian White Bean Chili from the menu planner and mixed it up a bit with different beans.

this is really good with a low fat cheese and brown rice, and Kids love it too.

Open three cans, toss in a few spices, top with a little cheese and you're done! It doesn't get much easier than this! Great with whole-wheat cornbread.

I found this recipe from my copy of the Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home.

A unique blend of ingredients with Jamaican jerk seasoning.

I added 4 oz of orzo and 1 can of Great Northern Beans to this chili kit.

Delicious and light Chicken and bean chili

This is what I came up with for our SuperBowl feast. I am cooking it in my rice cooker which has a slow cooker feature, but it can be cooked in any slow cooker and the instructions will reflect that.

A fast, easy recipe for chili for the masses or to put in indivudual serving cups to freeze for lunches and on-the-go days.

This black bean chili recipe is great for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The texture of the Boca ( soy) ground crumbles is that of ground meat and by adding more water this same recipe can become a soup. Add chopped jalapeno if you really like it hot. Serve over cooked brown rice and top with soy cheese, lowfat sour cream, or regular shredded sharp cheddar.

Quick, stove top chili can be ready in 15 minutes. Very high in fiber and low in fat.

Prepared as directed on package, except no meat used

Save calories by using leaner beef - I bought what was on sale. This is a really easy dish. Season as you like it with maybe a little onion, jalapeno, olives or red peppers.

This vegetarian italian chili tastes great with pesto pinwheel bread!

What to eat when you're feeling deprived or bored that fits almost any kind of protein you care to add. Makes a big batch so you can freeze it. This is a bit too hot eat on its own, but is a show-stopping counter-point when served over rice and meat. My husband refuses to go out for Mexican food, but he loved this. Reduce the cumin and chipotle peppers if you like it milder.

Quick and Easy Low Calorie Chili

A very easy, very tasty white chicken chili!

Spicy white chili

This is an adapted recipe from one of my favorite restaurants.

Make this on the weekends in a 5 quart Crockpot and have food for the whole week. It's not too spicy but has a lot of fiber and protein, without a lot of fat.

A lowfat chili that is very easy to make!

yummy add chicken or sour cream, salsa, monteray jack
have fun and try different toppings

This is a recipe I had for chili and loved that I lightened up because it originally called for pork sausage. I also substituted ground round for ground beef. This is "real" Texas Chili, meaning that there are no beans or noodles in it. You can adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your taste. Goes great with low fat sour cream and low fat cheese. Calculations are without toppings or the cayenne pepper. This chili definitely has a kick to it.

Very flavorful Chili Recipe - Mild to Medium heat.

My favorite easy chili with deer tenders rather than lean ground beef

yum-o relatively spice rainbow of flavor

Brown turkey and remove any fat. Mix meat, beans, tomatoes and juice along with chili powder to taste. Cook in slow cooker or on stove top until beans tender.

Use cooked chicken breast cut in 1" pcs. (best if marinade in Adobe Chicken Marinade). Coriander and Cumin should be ground, not leaf or seed.

Slow cook on the stove stop. Uses all fresh ingredients. Adding this mostly due to it being a family favorite and not many others call for making homemade verde sauce. I also adjust the heat by leaving the seeds and ribs of one half of one jalapeno. Can also add 2 anaheim or poblano chiles for more heat.

"Everything but the Kitchen Sink". Loaded with beans and veggies - this chili sits comfortably in the stomach without being a "bother". I put it whatever canned beans I have on hand and use Tastefully Simple's Wahoo Chili Spice for my powder.

Our favorite chili recipe!
We substitute venison when we can because it is much more lean than ground beef.
(we omit the cumin, cocoa, & red pepper sauce)

Some seasonings from Cincinnati chili were stolen to give this basic chili a little more pizazz.

Crockpot meal

The scent of this slow cooker dish is great to come home to. I precook dried beans and freeze in zip bags. May substitute canned (3), but rinse well to remove salt.

This is my chili that I learned to cook with my mom....the only problem is that my husband doesn't seem to consider it chili. either way it's really tasty and works really well with cornbread.

A simple, easy recipe that can cook while you're out (or doing something more interesting!).

Yield: 4 generous-sized servings
Prep time: 10 - 15 minutes
Cooking time: 2.5 hours

Momma_Little's husband makes great chili! This is the quick version!

This recipe just came together as most recipes do. After a season of hunting we have a lot of ground venison and my boyfriend loves spicy food - here's the result. Hope you enjoy it and feel free to add whatever your little heart desires to your own.

This is the standard Velvetta and Rotel recipe made with 2% Velvetta. The serving size is 2 oz.

A hearty and filling chili for a cold dark winter's night.

or someone that doesn't want to have to cook every meal three times a day to get the right calories! heehee I meant to use turkey but the pork butt roast was on sale this week! I wanted to make enough to freeze so I could have a cup or two a day for a couple weeks, just pull out and heat up! SO GOOD! Cut even more calories by doing it with the original turkey and instead of some of the sauces add some more veggies and maybe some low fat no broth salt! the peppers and onions carry it a long way!!!

A rich, thick and nutritious chili, great over brown rice and served with slices of ripe avocado and vegan sour cream.

Hearty and yummy!

It's great to throw the cans and packages together with some spices and let the slow-cooker do the work! My husband loves this too. It's Vegetarian if you use Soy crumbles instead of chicken.

oven roasted chili peppers and tomatoes start this hearty stew

Has won first prize at two chili cook-offs!

Makes 12 - 1 cup servings.
For a more calorie / fat friendly meal make using low fat low sodium options it tastes just as good!
Add more or less jalapeno depending on your preferance. If you like it hot another great way to spice up your bowl of chili is with a teaspoon or 2 of seraucha chili pepper sauce.

We like to add cheese, low-fat sour cream and/or noodles to our chili everyonce in a while to change things up a bit.

I found this recipe in one of her magazines

Bake Potatoes in oven, cut in half add toppings and serve.

This is my roommate's fantastic turkey chili! It's pretty much to die for! Feel free to tweak it to taste. He always does so this recipe probably isn't exactly how it comes out!

A really nice meaty chili to warm you up on a cool fall day.

If you're vegetarian, but you can't have chili without meat, this one's for you!

Spicy goodness! Great for a superbowl party or a chilly winter evening.

Makes 12 ........ 1 cup servings

Everything is according to taste. Recipe makes 4 x 1.5 cup servings

Great chili recipe - no one will know it's made with ground turkey.

great use for leftover ham. Modification of a recipe from Furmano's tomato products, which suggests serving over rice. A green salad would also be nice.

I wanted a chili lower in salt so I used homemade seasonings, home canned tomotoes and no salt kidney beans. The seasonings were more that enough to make a full bodied and flavorful chili. It is cooked low and slow to develop the flavors and like most soups and stews, it tastes even better the next day.

This recipes make 13-14 1-cup servings.

Enjoy!

Easy, healthy and yummy!

In my opinion, chili knows no season. Summer, winter, whenever. And the extra beans make this dish super high in fiber and protein!

I don't measure spices so you can make this as Spicy or as mild as you want

I tried something slightly different and FH loved the little extra the barbeque sauce adds.

Chili, Vegetarian

This is a wonderfully spicy chili that is low in fat, high in protien and fiber, and fairly low in carbs. In fact the only drawback is the amount of sodium (if you watch that kind of thing).

93% lean beef
no beans
diced tomatoes with onion
can of tomatoes juice

This was adapted from the Bush's Chili Bean recipe for Chili.

Beef, onion soup mix, taco seasoning, cocoa & diet coke combine to make a wonderful chili. Sweet and great cornbread or crackers

Slightly high on the sodium but it is its own meal!
