Ingredients & Cooking

Ingredients:

1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans (8 ounces) no-salt added tomato sauce
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup water
2 teaspoons chile powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Hot cooked whole wheat macaroni (optional)

Toppings:

Crushed baked tortilla chips, chopped green or regular onion, chopped tomato, chopped bell pepper, chopped fresh cilantro, reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt (optional)

Cooking:

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef and onions; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking beef into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings, as necessary.

Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

Stir in beans, tomato sauce, corn, water, spices and herbs. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve over macaroni, if desired. Garnish with toppings, as desired.

Cincinnati-Style Beef Chili: Stir in 1 teaspoon cinnamon with other seasonings in Step 2. Serve over hot cooked whole wheat spaghetti.

Moroccan-Style Beef Chili: Substitute 1 cup frozen peas for corn. Stir in 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice with other seasonings in Step 2. Serve over whole hot cooked whole wheat couscous or brown rice.

Cook's Tip: Baked potato halves can be substituted for whole wheat macaroni.
