Dennison's Chili,

[Guest NitaB]

I can't decide if anything on Dennison's chili label looks bad, for sure. I tried to look up soy flour, soy pretein, and caramel coloring, with no definitive results. Anyone know for sure? I've eaten it, with only the bit of gassiness I'd expect from beans. But, is that why??? Does anyone know of any good chili, that is gluten-free? The kind I bought at Traders Joe's, tasted yucky, to me!

Thanks, Nita

you can make your own chili pretty fast by browning a pound of ground meat (I use turkey) adding a can of black beans, a can of kidney beans, two cans of diced tomatoes, a can of tomato paste, sage, cumin, ground cayanne, salt, and lots of chili powder. takes about half an hour from "take pan out of cabinet" to finished.

We eat Hormel Chili, it is gluten free. I make my own too, it really is easy. Let me know if you need a recipe.

Dennison's is a ConAgra product. ConAgra will clearly list any wheat if it's there, but not barley, rye or oats. Personally, I don't think you'd find those three hidden in a product like that. Soy flour and soy protein are soy. Caramel color, despite what you hear, really is not a major threat.

Hormel chili WITH beans is gluten-free. Without beans is not.

The best chili, though, is homemade. Make extra and freeze it.

I have tried eating Dennison's Chili a couple of times and every time I eat it I feel like I have eaten something with gluten in it. I thought it was possible that I just cross contaminated between me and my husband the first time because he is not gluten free. But after the first time I was supper careful and had the same reaction. I know the ingredients don't have say they have any gluten in them but maybe there is some cross contamination in the manufacturing process that they are not listing. This is just my experience though if you can eat it go for it.
