1 can Del Monte Chili style tomato
1 can diced tomato (I really love tomatoes)
1 8oz can plain tomato sauce
1 can light red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 small yellow onion diced (or half of a large one. you have to improvise)
1 jalapeno, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
1/2 lb mushrooms, washed and diced (this is optional, i don’t always use these)
1 packet of McCormick hot chili spice (or mild, depends on my mood)
****I use this only because i am always out of chili powder. Otherwise i would say 2T chili powder, or to taste
***Alternatives: 1 zucchini, diced. THIS is SO good in the chili adds great texture. I have thrown Smart Ground or TVP in there also, but have cut down on that now that I am McDougalling again. Great thing is that my omni boyfriend doesn’t even notice the lack of meat 🙂
Throw this all in a pot and let it cook on medium. The beauty of this is you can cook it for 1/2 hour if you like crunchy veggies, or 2 hrs to soften them up.
Really tasty and McD friendly 🙂

Sounds wonderful, I’m about to put this all together now. We are currently stranded in the house due to all the bloody snow so this sounds like the perfect time for chili. Thank you for sharing.
