DAWN'S FAVORITE LOW-FAT CHILI

Dawn's Favorite Low-Fat Chili image

I make many types of chili, but my wife likes this version best. It is easy, virtually fat-free, and family-friendly. It makes a big pot but freezes well. I spice up my own bowl with hot sauce, jalapenos,fresh onion, whatever.

LOW FAT CHILI (CHILLI) CON CARNE

Low Fat Chili (Chilli) Con Carne image

A friend gave this recipe to me from one of her cookbooks. It did not remind me of chili in the thick sense that I usually think of it (the sauce is definitely on the thinner side). However, I found it has really nice flavor and lots of veggies. My friend typically serves this dish over rice.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (lean 97/3)
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 (15 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 small onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons dried garlic, reconstituted
2 tablespoons chili powder (see note)
1 tablespoon cumin (see note)
2 teaspoons ground red pepper (see note)
2 teaspoons cilantro
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups water (optional, use as needed for consistancy)

Steps:

Cook ground beef and onions together in a skillet until meat is browned and onion is almost clear. If using 93/7 lean ground beef a small amount of oil might be needed to prevent sticking.
Combine all ingredients in large pot. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour.
Note: many variations are possible. Try adding green chilies, cubed potatoes, rice, light or fat free cheddar or whatever you can imagine.
NOTE: Calories calculated by this system differ radically from my own. Using the values given on each of the items in the recipe I calculated only 180 Calories per 1 cup serving. 'Zaar might not be adjusting for extra lean groung beef.
NOTE: For a milder version reduce chili powder, cumin and red pepper by 1/2.
