Warms the belly and nourishes the soul – chili’s full name is chili con carne (“chili pepper with meat”) and is a traditional Spanish stew. This version is chili sans carne (“chili without animals”) for a lighter healthier version of the classic. This recipe is made in a crock pot – the housewife of the single man – so you can come home to a hearty healthy meal after a long day of work. Note: The crock pot will still make you do the dishes and take out the garbage after dinner.
