Default Atkins chili

I am making chili for dinner tonight. It's cooking now and it smells very good. I found this recipe for Atkins chili online. I don't eat meat, so I am using Morning Star Crumbles instead of ground beef. I'm sure you could use ground turkey, as well. I'm going to stir in a little protein powder when it's done, as well.

Atkins Chili
Ingredients
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large chopped onion
• 6 large garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium jalapenos, minced
• 2 lbs ground sirloin
• 2-4 Tablespoons chili powder (adjust according to personal taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• pepper to taste
• 1 16oz can diced tomatoes (make sure no sugar added)
• 2 cups chicken broth (again no sugar added)
Directions
Heat oil in heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic. Saute about 8 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add ground sirloin and cook until brown, breaking up meat with a spatula as it cooks. Add chili powder, salt, pepper, and jalapenos to the meat and onions. Stir in died tomatoes and chicken broth.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 1 and a half hours.
Note: Wear gloves to mince the jalapenos. If you want your Atkin's chili a bit spicy, then mince the seeds and membranes with your jalapenos. If you want your chili milder, then remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos.

That sounds yummy!

I put a ton of beans in my chili...they're so good for you, and high in protein and fiber.

I'm betting that you could skip using the olive oil, and just use a bit of Pam spray instead. That would reduce the calories/fat.

FYI - there is a pretty good pre-mixed chili seasoning (for us lazy cooks) on Bariatric Eating Susan Maria's Cancun Chili Mix.

Do you have a recipe? I love chili w/ lots of beans but I don't know how to make it.
