When cooler temperatures hit, the first supper I crave is chili. There's something about the ingredients, the spice, and the warmth of every bite that just feels right. However, when chili gets loaded up with tons of beans or the wrong produce, it can lead to uncomfortable bloating before bed. If you can relate, this easy slow-cooked beanless chili has your name all over it. It fills you up with over 27 grams of protein for well under 300 calories. Top off your bowl with Greek yogurt and a few slices of avocado for even more flat-belly power.
