Diabetic Chili

This diabetic chili is a favorite. During the year, I'm known to drag my family members to chili cook offs. I love the music, the vibe, and oh the chili. It's great, you can't feel your mouth from the spice of certain chili dishes and yet you have to vote at the end for your favorite. Never been to a chili cook off? Invite family members over and tell them to bring their best chili recipe. :) It will be a family cook off tradition. You can start with this recipe....
