Cooking - My New Favorite Chili
I tried this recipe last night with a little trepidation. Its low fat and lower in calories and usually, for Chili, I don't trust that too much. Also, it didn't use much in the way of tomato sauce so I thought it would be too dry. Well, its not soupy or stewy, but its DELICIOUS!!!

Notes:
1 goofed and added only 1 Tsp of the Chili Powder, which in the end, may have been a good thing since I added the Chipotle pepper and Adobo Sauce. If you want more chili powder, then you may want to omit the Chipotle and Adobo Sauce.
I also replaced the sour cream with Fage 0% Complete Yogurt. It is a wonderful replacement.
