Whenever I crave comfort food, chilli is my go-to food. I tweaked this recipe to make it low sodium and healthy, yet still satisfy my need for some comfort eating.
The secret is that I found all the tinned food as low sodium options, and I am using a reduced sugar and salt ketchup to give it the much-needed comfort food taste.
PS this freezes well, so you can make it ahead!
