Health Valley Chunky Chili :: Mild Vegetarian Black Bean

Growing up, I never really liked beans so I had never had chili.  When I practically lived in Cincinnati because of work, I was introduced to their unique, bean-free style chili and fell in love with it (It was Gold Star all the way...sorry Skyline fans!).  I even found a recipe online and made my own - frequently.  Our friends would flock to our apartment to have some.

I've been trying a lot of things since becoming a vegetarian and have a new love for beans.  While walking through the store one day, I saw the Health Valley Chunky Chili and decided to give it a try.  I'm so glad that I did!!!  I LOVE this chili and you can almost always find a can or two in our cabinet.  

Not only is this chili very filling, it's good for you too! Each serving (about 1/2 the can) has 10 grams of protein, 8 grams fiber, 150 calories and only 1 gram of fat!  There are several other versions but I've only had this one and the mild 3 bean.  I'll definitely be giving the others a try!
