This was so delicious! It was literally one of the best chilis I have had, especially for low carb. You would never know it is low carb. It tasted even better the next day (it makes a lot so I ate it for a few days). Has all the ingredients I like in chili, tomatoes, onion, and green pepper. Highly recommend! Lost weight eating it too.
