Fall Chili

      One thing we can love about cooler temperatures is that it brings out all the fun favorites in the produce department.  And with all the holidays during these months, I came up with my Fall Chili that feeds a large crowd.  Each of the 25 cups are only 183 calories, 18.5g carbs, 5g fiber, 13.5g net carbs, 14.6g protein and 5.5g fat.  So on Halloween night, feel free to invite all your goblins over for dinner before heading out to trick or treat!  Have fun with this one, and enjoy my spooktacular add in's to make it just right for the season!🍁🍂🍁

1 Tablespoon chopped Garlic

Dash Cayenne (optional)

1 Chili Packet (I use low sodium)

3 cans diced Tomatoes (I use low sodium)

     Add Beans and Peas to large stock pot, cover with water over night or for 8 hours, in the morning drain, cover with water again, add 1 chopped Onion and Bouillon, simmer for 2 hours.  Meanwhile, brown ground Beef with remaining Onion, Garlic and Cayenne, drain any excess grease.  When Beans are done simmering, stir in Beef with remaining ingredients and continue to simmer til Squash is softened, about 20 minutes.  Enjoy 🎃
