Today’s recipe is adapted from the Food Babe‘s Green Chili Recipe! I adapt it and use zucchini instead of green peppers. It may sound odd, but we’re just not green pepper kind of people in the Shuck household, and I still wanted to incorporate a veggie in this dish.
This chili is so tasty and a nice twist on traditional chili. Plus, clean ingredients you can feel good about feeding your family, guests or yourself! Thumbs up all around!
