You can make a pot early in the week and have enough for lunches for a few days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chili is a great way to get lots of vegetables and protein in one meal. In this hearty chili recipe, I use lentils instead of meat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=as_ss_li_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=buddhabowlsar-20&#038;language=en_US&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=B074MFVZG7&#038;asins=B074MFVZG7&#038;linkId=a811ae5bd89bb3b6359c0e5e581bd456&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe><iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=as_ss_li_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=buddhabowlsar-20&#038;language=en_US&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=B06XKQJZP1&#038;asins=B06XKQJZP1&#038;linkId=b66816a293170d8857e86fa8e2af4c95&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Lentils, members of the legume family, are a complex carbohydrate.

You can add some more spice to this by adding an extra jalapeno or cayenne pepper. My kids like their chili spicy but not too spicy. This recipe, as written is not very spicy.
