SODIUM:2367GRAMS!?!?!?! Is that correct? I planned on making this chili until I checked the nutritional information. Wow I hope that is an error. I am a vegetarian but also health conscious this would be almost twice the recommended daily sodium intake of 1500mg (2300mg if you are younger and healthy)

WOW. Just fixed this up with only very minor adjustments: added fresh chopped cilantro and couldn't find a can of green chilies at the store so I grabbed a can of diced tomatoes WITH green chilies. This is so delicious, I'm excited to share this recipe with friends!

It's amazing!! I want to dig in now and it's not even done cooking. I put mine in the crockpot. Before I added the second bag of crumbles I was hesitant. It looked so perfect and vibrant just as it was so I gave it a nibble. DELICIOUS. I gave in, whatever this recipe says must be truth. I can't wait till it's finished.
