This is one of those tried and true weeknight dinners that I absolutely love. It is a lightened up, more healthy feeling chili that I think chili-purists would still approve of. And it is a one-pot-wonder which is my favorite when I do not particularly think I have time for washing dishes lots of dishes. We like it with corn tortilla chips. And also I need to mention this sweet cornbread that is a popular recipe on the blog and a delightful companion for chilis.
