LOW FAT CHILI



Low Fat Chili image

An easy chili recipe with lean ground beef and low in calories and fat. Most often when I want chili I want beef not chicken or turkey. This simple chili lends itself to many variations while still remaining low in calories.

Categories     Beans

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.
