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.

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.

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)

SIMPLE TURKEY CHILI

This is a very simple and hearty chili with plenty of flavor. It's even better the second day! I serve this with lowfat Cheddar cheese and lowfat sour cream. It's also delicious with crackers.
