A hearty meal in a bowl. It's full of great stuff like lean beef, pinto beans and chili peppers. Turn leftovers into burritos.

Ingredients

1 spray(s) cooking spray   
2/3 pound(s) uncooked lean ground beef   
  2 medium uncooked 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 serving(s) uncooked macaroni, elbow-size   
  31 oz canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained   
1/2 cup(s) low fat shredded cheddar cheese   

Instructions

  • 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.
