I concocted this recipe while on Weight Watchers. It is very low in fat, and full of fiber! It freezes well too. I keep it in individual servings in the freezer for quick healthy lunches at work. My family LOVES it! Hope yours will too! All ingredients are 'CORE' foods!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup onion, chopped
4 -5 garlic cloves (minced or pressed)
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 1/2 lbs 95% lean ground beef
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
15 ounces tomato sauce
15 ounces low sodium beef broth
15 ounces black beans
15 ounces light kidney beans
15 ounces dark red kidney beans
15 ounces navy beans
15 ounces pinto beans
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. In a large stock pot, add oil, onion, and jalapeno. Saute over medium high heat for 5 minutes.
2. Add garlic, and saute until onions are translucent, about 5 more minutes.
3. Add hamburger to pot with sautéed onion mixture. Cook until burger is done. Approx 15 minutes. *** If you use the 95% lean burger, there shouldn't be a need to drain.
4. Next, add tomatoes, sauce, and broth.
5. Drain and rinse all beans, and add to pot. Add spices, and bring to a boil.
6. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
