Healthy Superbowl Chili

I spent quite a bit of time doing internet research on a chili recipe that would be healthy, delicious, and somewhat traditional. Oh, and my husband doesn’t do any bean that is not green, whereas I do not discriminate and love them all. This is what I ended up with, which is a combination of several recipes. If you’ll notice – I pureed the beans so my husband was none the wiser, and there was plenty of healthy protein added to the snack.
