Lean and Mean Chili with Beans

This recipe is packed with nutrients, and sure to keep you satiated. For the tomato juice I use Spicy Organic Very Veggies juice. And I like to add more than 1 cup because I like a more of a broth base in my chili. I like to make it at the beginning of the week and have leftovers at lunch time!
