This is a colorful and healthy bowl of chili with satisfying flavor even for meat eaters. You can add meat to this recipe if you like, just brown ground beef first then proceed with the rest of the recipe.It’s our meatless week so I will be posting some meatless or vegetarian recipes.There are different variations on how to serve chili. I like it just like that in a bowl even without sour cream , but I also served it with brown basmanti rice or you can make it as a burrito with cheese and sour cream which is my kids favorite.
