Introduction
I came up with this recipe one night when I was in the mood for Chili, but not all the prep work of chopping veggies. I decided to let the freezer aisle do the work for me(the "chilly" part of this recipe). This way I get all the benefits of fresh produce, but I save a ton of time in the kitchen. This makes a huge batch, so I usually freeze half of it. I came up with this recipe one night when I was in the mood for Chili, but not all the prep work of chopping veggies.
