Expert Tips

Kidney beans are loaded with fiber, the soluble kind that helps lower blood cholesterol. Start slowly so you have time to get used to added fiber in the diet.

it's blasphemy to make chili without onions, bell peppers, and garlic. also, the only beans to leave undrained are the chili beans - always drain the rest. replace that liquid with one small can of tomato soup and you have a nice base for your chili. and, 2-3 spoons of chili powder isn't enough. cumin? pepper? salt?

I made this chili for my family and none of us could eat it. All the ingredients sounded good, but the taste was not there. I am not sure if it was not draining the beans since i normally drain and rinse canned beans, but we couldn't stomach the taste and threw the rest out.
