Bush’s Chili Magic is Diet Magic

Comments

When I moved from Boston to San Francisco a couple of years ago, I knew we’d be giving up some things. I anticipated many of the big things… missing my nephew being born is one. I didn’t think about the smaller things… like the loss of Bush’s Chili Magic.

I had no idea that it’s a regional product. I couldn’t find it in any of 7 local grocery stores. When I went back to Boston it wasn’t there either. Finally I found it in the most unlikely of places a Navy base Commissary.

How to Make a Good Easy Chili

I’m not the best chef. If you read about my healthy sauce you know that I improvise. Chili Magic helps me do that. One can of it, some ground beef or turkey, and a can of diced tomatoes and the base of chili is done. You don’t need to do anything else if you don’t want to. Often times that suits me as I am Lazy. Other times, I like to get crazy and add things that many people wouldn’t put in Chili. I add salsa, buffalo wing sauce, corn, mushrooms, peppers, onions, a little cheese (go easy on this), even wheat germ. It really is magic in that I haven’t been able to make a bad one yet.

Why Chili is Important to my Diet

It’s extremely healthy. The beans are a great source of fiber which keeps me full longer. The ground turkey/beef provides a lot of protein. The diced tomatoes and extras give me vegetables that I often lack when I’m making other dishes.

I tried to make chili the conventional way, but have failed to duplicate the success that I get Bush’s Chili Magic. It’s given my diet a kick start.

Have a chili recipe secret? Share it below.

[You’d think Bush paid me for writing so highly of them. I want to stress that is not the case. I really like their product and think that it should have wider distribution. Plus, I’m also extremely excited to find a place where I can finally buy it.]

We had the easy tomato sauce from yesterday’s post tonight. I have never tried Bush’s Chili Mix as I always make mine from scratch, but maybe I will. I have tried a few weird (to some) things in chili, too. It keeps them guessing at the dinner table.
