This chili is so great because it is loaded with vegetables and so colorful. It has all the colors of the rainbow! I eat it over brown or white rice. It's great to make a big batch and then have leftovers for lunch or dinner another day. My mom used to make this chili for us when we were growing up and we love it. Thanks Mom!
