Em's Chili Recipe

Hot bowl of Em's Chili

"Mmmm, smells great, what are you cooking!?"
This is what you'll hear when you make a pot of this super easy and deceptively healthy Em's Chili. The delicious aroma will fill your home, and it's under 200 calories per serving!!

You will love making this quick and easy recipe I adapted from a Biggest Looser program because you simply chop an onion and mince some garlic. The rest of the ingredients are in a can or box.

I've learned a valuable lesson when it comes to cooking delicious food so it comes out just right every time. The trick is~ prepare my ingredients beforehand! Chop up that onion, press that garlic, measure out your chicken broth and spices before you start cooking. Especially when making a new recipe. Then you can pay attention to actually cooking the food. Really essential for just about everything. (Except for some instances when baking or cooking with fresh herbs, you don't want to chop them too early or they'll turn brown.) Once you know a recipe well, you can decide to cut corners and understand when you might have some time to prep food while cooking. But this takes practice :0)
