As a busy mom I have grown to love my crock pot. It definitely is a staple in any parent’s kitchen. A slow cooker is a mom’s best friend. I also like to use as few ingredients as possible… it’s quicker, cheaper, easier, and you don’t cover/mask/drown all the flavors by having too many ingredients.
One of our favorite things to eat is chili. Since my husband and I are eating healthier, I’ve been trying lighter chili recipes. Here is one of our favorites:

This is a hearty chili perfect anytime. It’s delicious, high in protein, and you can use a fat-free shredded cheese and/or cut down on the amount to make it even fewer calories. It’s one of our favorite chili recipes!
