Default Re: healthy foods i can make in big batches

This is some chili I made last week that turned out pretty good:

2 lbs 93% lean beef (drain fat)
2 cans crushed tomato
1 can tomato sauce
2 cans pork and beans (I dont like kidney beans)
1 green pepper
2 jalapenos
3 spoons of chili powder
1 box multigrain pasta
onion salt
garlic salt
I ended up adding a couple cups of water to get desired juiciness

I cooked the pasta separate and mixed it in at the end. The rest filled up a crock pot and I just let it sit on low for 4 hours (browned and drained beef first).

The total calories added up to roughly 4000. Total fat was about 100g. I divided it up into 12 servings so roughly 330 calories and 9g fat per serving. Good and spicy chili that works well to reheat at work.
