Add kidney beans, chili beans, beer (optional), remaining 3 tablespoons chili powder, No-Salt, pepper and Tabasco to the crock pot. Simmer 20 more minutes or for the best results set the crock pot on low and simmer for several hours or overnight [The longer the chili simmers, the better the taste]. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of fat free cheddar cheese and top with a dollop of fat free sour cream. | | | NUTRITIONAL FACTS
