Great Recipe for Dinner (re-post)

This is a repost from February.  Please read the original post from February 25th for the Time magazine article.
I had this Chilli for dinner this evening and it was great so I wanted to share the recipe again for all my new students.
Fix some up and enjoy.  Let me know if you liked it or anything you would change or add.
Piggy backing on the article from Time magazine I shared about fiber being a kick start for weight loss.  I wanted to share this recipe that we have been using at my house for quite some time. 
Remember you still need to eat in moderation even though you may very well want to have more after tasting it.
A serving is about 1 cup.  Add a nice salad with light dressing, a piece of gluten free bread, and some cantaloupe or watermelon and you have a really nice, balanced meal!
This recipe is a great source of fiber and protein while being low in fat.
