There is truly no one food that can help your health more than chilies -- no matter whether red or green. When the weather gets colder, chilies can really help your system stay at peak health.

A great way to really boost your system is to eat chili -- often known as chili con carne -- a truly American food. Jane Butel, author of Chili Madness and 18 other books says Bowl o' Red is her very favorite chili. This chili has won more cook-offs than about any other recipe and is quite historic. It is the brew that fueled the cowboys on the long trail drives -- bringing the cattle to the rail heads, when the railroad tracks were completed in the late 1800's.

This is a fabulous chili for Super Bowl parties or any party. It is wonderful with any kind of cornbread. Butel likes to serve it with a Blue Corn Parfait Bread, which has been a hit for 25 years in her weekend and weeklong cooking schools. It is most fun served with the fixin's 'n mixin's noted at the end of this recipe.
