"My husband, Jeff, makes THE BEST chili," says Melissa Newman of Danville, Pennsylvania. This recipe is chock-full of healthy vegetables and just enough "heat" to warm you to your toes! TIP: Sometimes the Newmans substitute ground venison or a ground venison-ground beef mix for the ground beef.

This chili is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I think it needs more flavor.
