Note: My recipe is based on one found in Woman's Day called Marvelous Meatless Chili. Using the brands I recommend, I was able to reduce the sodium level by over 400 mg per serving!

* I only use Eden Organic Beans because they are packed in steel cans coated with a baked on oleoresinous c- enamel lining that does not contain bisphenol-A (BPA), the chemical that leaches from plastics and cans according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Studies have linked BPA exposure to obesity, heart disease and cancer. These BPA-free cans cost Eden $300,000 more a year to produce. To my knowledge, Eden is the only U.S. company that uses this custom made BPA-free can.
