My aunt made the chili and was so kind to allow me post her recipe! She also made the recipe healthier by substituting high fat meats for leaner rounds. She replaced the ground beef with lean beef, ground turkey, and turkey sausage rather than regular sausage. Lean meat has less saturated fat and cholesterol is healthier for your heart. It is also an excellent source of protein!
Do you enjoy spicy food? I love spicy food and so does my aunt! She substituted diced tomatoes for Rotel Tomatoes to add a little kick! Check out the recipe below and let me know what changes you made to improve the recipe even more!
