Ingredients
1 - 27oz can Mild Chili Beans (90 cal/0.5 cup)1 - 26.5oz can Black Beans, drained & rinsed (105 cal/0.5 cup)2 - 14.5oz cans Petite Diced Tomatos (25 cal/0.5 cup)1 - 6oz can Tomato Paste (30 cal/1.2oz)1 - 15.25oz can Whole Kernel Sweet Yellow Corn, drained (60 cal/0.5 cup)1 - large onion, chopped (57 cal/ total)3 - cups water3 - Tbsp Chili Powder1 - Tbsp Salt 1 - Tbsp Garlic Powder
Directions
In a large pot, saute the onion using cooking spray. (You can use oil or butter but it will add calories.)
Once the onion is soft, add the rest of the ingredients and stir thouroughly.
If you prefer to add meat, brown ground beef or turkey and add it to the pot or make it on the side so you can feed vegetarians and meat-eaters with the same meal.
Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer for 30 minutes.
This is not very spicy so you may want to spice it up with some hot sauce.
This will make about 12 cups. Each cup should be around 148 calories unless your ingredients are different from mine.

Happy eating!

    Reading the posts regarding the spiciness of this recipe, I decided to make one of the cans of tomatoes one with added jalapenos. I also added a big clove of garlic as I cooked the onions. I usually just use water to 'saute' onions - makes them soft but doesn't brown them. Great recipe! - 9/9/09

    Great recipe! I like my chili spicy, so I diced up some pickled jalapenos and added some cayenne pepper. I plan to share this with my other vegetarian friends. This is easy, inexpensive to make, and feeds quite a few people! - 12/31/08

    This chili was excellent! I added some Chipotle Jalapeno Tobasco for a little extra zip and a clove of fresh garlic. I will definitely make this again! - 11/23/08

    I made this recipe but used fire roasted tomatoes. It was delicious and I didn't even miss the meat. Also, as I love spicy food, I added a bit of cayenne pepper for extra heat. - 7/18/16

    Are the calories off in this recipe? For instance the recipe says 1 - 27oz can Mild Chili Beans (90 cal/0.5 cup) but only counts half in the calculation. This happens a few times, as 1 - 6oz can Tomato Paste (30 cal/1.2oz) is listed as 3 calories in the calculations. - 2/24/16

    Extremely easy to create and if you're looking for a bit of zingy happiness, roast the tomato paste in the oven @ 350 until it starts to get lightly blackened. Scrape it off the cookie sheet into the chili. YUM! - 11/9/12

    Loved it! Nice and savory. Will definitely make this one again. I doubled the recipe and froze in individual serving sizes. Each time I heated it up for dinner, I added some kale or broccoli. - 2/13/10

    I soaked and cooked my own beans, that would drop the sodium dramatically. - 3/24/20
