I see so many people enjoying chili during the puréed phase and I'm going to be there next week and I LOVE chili so I'm thinking this would be great for me. Are there any certain kinds of chili people buy or are you all just making homemade? I typically make homemade but I don't know how healthy it is, ground beef, 3 kinds of Beans with chili sauce, some tomatoes, some chili seasonings and basically that's it. Just wondering if I should whip up my own chili from scratch or if there are canned (eek scary to me) chili that doesn't taste like dog food!!!!

I prefer homemade foods than canned....girl whip up a batch and enjoy homemade food!

Awesome post I want to know too! Yum

Wendys! Had this early on.

Use a recipe analyzer to find out the nutrition of your own chili! I happen to love Hormel's chili (turkey no beans), and it's high in protein!

Make your own less sodium & fat . I use ground sirloin for mine fry it up drain any fat off then pat with paper towel to get any more fat off! I have also used ground turkey or chicken and have done the same procedure. In beginning could eat 1/4 c now 1/2 cup is good! Enjoy it!

Early out I ate the Hormel Turkey Chili and when cleared for beef at 6 weeks, the Dennison's Fat Free Chili (formerly known as 98% fat free). I also make my own, heavy on the meat so it is Protein dense.

I make an easy chili for my family:

1pound ground turkey

1 red or yellow bell pepper chopped

1 green bell pepper chopped

1onion chopped

1 small can tomato paste

1 can diced tomatoes

2 cans black Beans

1 can chicken stock

a handful of chili powder to taste And garlic powder, salt, pepper..or if I'm feeling even more lazy I just use a packet of chili spices and disregard the directions on it!

Brown the turkey in a big pot Dump the rest in and cook until peppers are tender

Of course if your on purée you will have to blend your portion...
