LOW FAT CHILI (CHILLI) CON CARNE
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.

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.
Tips:
- To make the chili even leaner, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
- Add chopped sweet potato or butternut squash for a healthy dose of vegetables.
- Use low-sodium broth or water instead of regular broth to reduce the sodium content.
- Top the chili with low-fat cheese, sour cream, or avocado for a creamy and flavorful topping.
- Serve the chili with whole-wheat bread, cornbread, or a side of rice for a complete meal.
