Introduction

This is a tasty, high fiber, high protein, low fat meal-in-a-bowl. The sodium count is high, but still much lower than is typical for chili. If you didn't use the tomato sauce the sodium amounts would dramatically decrease. This chili will fill you up with a one cup serving. Top it with diced onion, sour cream, and cheese.
