Healthy Chili Recipe (Slow Cooker Recipe)

Chili has got to be one of my favorite meals. This one-pot meal is simple and quick to throw together on those busy weeknights.

Chili was the topic of conversation the other day when some friends and I were describing our ideal bowl of the stuff. And being the chili connoisseurs we are, we all agreed that chili is most delicious when it’s thick enough to eat with a fork.

But a spoon will do if you’re not brave enough to handle this unorthodox method of chili eating. Pull out a spork and take baby steps if you need to.

Amateurs.

As you probably know, tomatoes are the primary ingredient in most healthy chili recipes. Tomatoes are a tasty way in which to provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals. Tomatoes have many health benefits and have been shown to:

Be a rich source of fiber.
Contain high levels of lycopene which aids in the fight against free radical and UV damage.
Be low in calories.
High in vitamins such as Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Vitamin K.

I love to serve my healthy chili recipe with a side of sliced avocado in order to get in my daily dose of healthy fats.
