Our diets have been lacking fiber lately and I wanted to do something about it. (If only ice cream and chocolate were high in fiber I’d be all set!) What better way to quench a fiber drought than with a nice hardy bowl of chili! This recipe is filling and delicious and contains very little fat. I doubled the below recipe in order to fill a huge pot, so I will likely eat a bowl of it for lunch every day this week. I love how it can be easily reheated in single servings and it gets even tastier as it sits in the fridge!

Note: I received a reader request for some gluten-free recipes. I have some research to do on this subject, but in the meantime, I am almost sure this recipe is gluten-free. I will update this post when I have additional information.
