Chili is one of my favorite meals. It is so versatile, so you really can put whatever you want in there. Here is my four bean beef chili recipe. This makes a really large pot, so if you want to cut it in half, you most certainly can. I like to make one big batch and then freeze it in individual portions.

A couple notes about the recipe – This recipe calls for canned tomatoes and beans, which many traditional diet followers don’t use b/c of toxins in the cans, especially canned tomatoes.

However, I want my recipes to be easy for my readers, so I have written the recipe using canned goods. You can most certainly substitute your own soaked beans and canned (in glass) or frozen tomatoes if you’d like. I put the ounce measurements in there to make that a little easier.

Also, like all soups, chili is extremely forgiving, so you can most definitely make the recipe your own!
