Texas Red Chili - 15g Carbs
From: Family Circle's "All-time Favorite Recipes"
{To cut down on salt...
1. Use chili powder without salt in it as most are a blend of
spices (I make my own from chipolte or ancho chiles but if you
cannot make a powder then hydrate seeded and stemmed chiles in
water in pot for brief time, cool and run through blender with
some of the liquid from hydrating... be sure it is cool before
putting in blender).
2. Try getting canned stewed tomatoes with no salt or if you
cannot find low salt stewed tomatoes... then use plain
low-salt tomatoes and add fresh or dried bell pepper into
the dish.
3. Also, use low sodium beef broth.
Other tips--
4. I never use beer in my chili but a lower calorie one would
be a better choice here if you wish to include it.
5. I use Texas Sweet Onions in my chili but any sweet onion variety
would be a good choice here.
6. Trim all visible fat from the meat.
