Cheaters Chili


2 pts per cup

1 can tomato sauce
2 cans Mexican style stewed tomatoes or mexican diced tomatoes with cilantro and lime
2 cans S&W chili beans in zesty sauce (this brand makes all the difference)
1lb 90% lean ground beef or leaner if you'd like
onion
chili seasoning and paprika to taste.

To lower the fat content, double the tomatoes, beans, tomato sauce and seasonings. This makes more chili with less hamburger. Plus this freezes up great. Just Put 1 cup servings in freezer bags and pull out when you want it.

cook ground beef and onion. Drain well. (rinsing the beef after it is cooked will lower the fat content) In a crock-pot add meat mixture, tomatoes, and beans together. Cook on low 4-6 hrs. Serve with sour cream and cheese if desired. Also good in a bread bowl. The longer this cooks the better the flavor.
