Chili

CHILI

Recipe:
1 lb. ground beef
1 c. chopped onion
1 c. chopped green bell pepper
1 (16 oz.) can cut-up petite diced tomato
1 (16 oz.) can dark red kidney beans (drained/rinsed)
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. dried basil, crushed
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Directions:
Brown beef; drain excess oil. Combine remaining ingredients. Bring to boil; cover reduce heat to low/medium-low; simmer 20 minutes.

**FYI - The nutrition facts will vary based on the kind of beef you get. When calculating the nutrition facts on sparks, I selected "lean ground beef". However, it did not specify what "lean" was exactly. I think the facts are a little inflated from what I use and how I prepare it.
