Confessions of a Fit Foodie: Beanless Chili

As a self-proclaimed 'fit foodie,' I'm always on the lookout for delicious and healthy recipes that fit my lifestyle. Today, I'm excited to share one of my favorite beanless chili recipes with you. This dish is not only packed with flavor, but it's also free from beans, making it a great option for those who follow a low-FODMAP diet or simply prefer a bean-free meal.

To start, heat 3 tablespoons of Country Crock Original in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and bell peppers and cook until they're soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Next, add minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper to the pot and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Once the mixture is well combined, add in 1 cup of diced tomatoes (fresh or canned) and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the flavors have melded together and the chili has thickened slightly.

To serve, ladle the beanless chili into bowls and top with your favorite toppings, such as freshly chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or sliced jalapeños. Enjoy!

Tips and Variations

* Feel free to substitute nutmeg for one of the spices you don't happen to have on hand.

* If you prefer a thicker chili, simply simmer it for an additional 10-15 minutes or add a little bit of cornstarch to thicken it up.

* For an extra burst of flavor, try adding in some diced bell peppers or chopped fresh cilantro towards the end of cooking time.

This beanless chili is a game-changer for anyone looking for a delicious and healthy meal option. With its rich flavors and tender texture, it's sure to become a staple in your household. So go ahead, give it a try, and let me know what you think!
