I can't resist making a pot of chili once a month. I use ground beef, canned tomatoes, four or five different kinds of canned beans, chopped onions, ground beef, and chili powder. Add rice and sausage and adjust the seasoning so it's more Cajun, and it's jambalaya. I brown the meat and onions, and throw everything into a crock pot/slow cooker for four hours, or in the microwave for 25 minutes. I like to think this is a healthy dish, but I'm not sure. I recently started using low-sodium beans and tomatoes to make my cardiologist happy. -Joe-
