This was a big hit at my house! Both my husband and daughter loved it! They were even willing to eat the leftovers which is saying something. A word of warning though, this recipe makes a LOT so be prepared to freeze some of it for later or something.
1 spray(s) cooking spray
2/3 pound(s) raw lean ground beef
2 medium onion(s), chopped
29 oz canned stewed tomatoes, Mexican-style (undrained)
2 1/2 cup(s) canned tomato juice
4 oz canned green chili peppers, diced, drained
2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 cup(s) uncooked macaroni, elbow-size
31 oz canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup(s) low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
* Coat a large skillet with cooking spray; set over medium-high heat. Cook beef and onion until meat is browned, stirring and breaking up meat with a spoon as it cooks, about 10 minutes; drain off fat.
* Stir in undrained tomatoes and their juice, tomato juice, chili peppers and chili powder; bring mixture to a boil.
* Stir in macaroni and beans; return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until macaroni is tender, about 15 minutes. Spoon chili into bowls and sprinkle with cheese. Yields about 1 cup chili and 1 tablespoon cheese per serving.
1 Serving= 7 Points Plus value
We had this dish, like the 1st week of my diet, and we LOVED it. I usually hate stewed tomatoes, but I have actually found a brand I love. I can't remember what it is called now, but I'll go home and look at a can and let you know.
ReplyDeleteWe liked this one too! I topped mine with 2 table spoons of Daisy light sour cream for 1 additional point. Brian actually ASKED me to make this one again!
