Tonight, I think I go for the spicy. Chili has always been one of my favorite foods. I have them on hot dogs, hamburgers and just plain chili. One down side to traditional chili is the beef. If you are on a strict diet and trying to cut the fat and cholesterol, you can always substitute the beef for the other white meat. Let me know what you think

I think you'd better use ground turkey instead of ground pork if you're watching your fat and cholesterol.
ReplyDeleteWhat are your thoughts on using soy beef to cook this recipe with? I like chili as well, but I only have it when it's vegan.
ReplyDeleteTo Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea. I think I will try it next time with Turkey.
To NassimGee,
ReplyDeleteI think soy beef would also work. Please let me know how it turns out. Soy products does not work well with my body but I am sure there are many vegeterians who would appriciate your report on this.
