As part of the low-carb health plan I've been on, I've been trying to find comforting ways to eat. Chili is one of my go-tos. I love sitting down with a bowl of chili, topped with cheddar cheese and sour cream. It's an easy and satisfying way to rev up the protein and get some fat in. Rather than to keep buying it processed, I've opted for making my own!
Just remember, as with pretty much anything that contains tomatoes, the longer this chili is able to simmer, the better. I allow mine to cook for at least an hour before enjoying.
