Notes/Hints: For fat free, spray vegetables with Pam and omit oil, thus "wilting" them instead of cooking in oil. Wilt means using little heat and covering the pan. Also, because of use of canned vegetables, this recipe may not be suitable for those on a low-sodium diet. Suggested toppings for chili: non-fat sour cream, non-fat cheddar cheese substitute, and chopped scallions.
