Recipe Introduction


Chili is one of those dishes that can take hours (even days) to prepare in some parts of the nation, but for those of us who can't devote that much time to cutting up exactly the right kind of beef, mixing up a secret blend of spices, or stirring in some surprise ingredient (cinnamon? coffee? or even stranger ones?!), here's a simple but spectacularly good chili that anyone can fix in a jiffy.
Serves 4 (1 1/4 cups)
*freezes well

• 1/2 cup chopped onion
  
• 1/2 cup (one 2.5-ounce jar) sliced mushrooms, drained
  
• 10 ounces (one 16-ounce can) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  
• 1 tablespoon chili seasoning
  
• 2 teaspoons pourable Splenda
  
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
