Very good chili! I was unexpectedly called away from the kitchen and had to leave my 14-year old son to finish up. He accidentally left out one can of tomatoes, but it was still quite tasty. I used 1/2 green pepper and 1/2 red pepper, and substituted chili beans for the black beans. I omitted scallions only because I didn't have any on hand. I plan to add some frozen corn kernels next time I prepare this chili. Thank you for such an easy crowd pleaser!

This is lovely, especially when you look at the numbers. Yippee! I didn't have any bell peppers of any color so that was left out, I tripled the chili powder and used 1 can of black beans (undrained- personal preference). The one can of beans was because I cut the recipe in half and didn't want to have to can's of leftover beans. I made Recipe#170283 to have with the chili and the pair made a very good comfort food dinner that was very healthy. I'm a happy camper tonight :D. Thank you ellie.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
