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.

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.

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.

EASY LOW - FAT "HOMEMADE" CHILI



Easy Low - Fat

This is a homemade chili made simple. This makes 144 oz. of chili, so be sure to use a large soup pot. This is a thinner chili, not a thick Texas style and I like to serve with fritos, shredded cheese and sour cream. Served alone, the correct nutritional information is 1 gram of fat and 115 calories per cup.
