Kickin’ Chili

Now that it’s officially football time in Tennessee it’s time for some healthy hosting and tailgating foods! Chili is my favorite go-to when hosting a football get together but the beans can make it too high in carbohydrate. This is a simple, healthy recipe perfect for fall! Feel free to add or take away ingredients to taste and spice as desired.
