Beef and Bean Chili created by Elly in Canada

Adapted to serve 4 from South Beach Diet Online. Phase 1. I eliminated the oil, and added some extra vegetables and seasonings. This is a good base, but I like it a little spicy. Try cayenne, black pepper, and/or hot sauce to heat things up a little.

We enjoyed this for dinner with some garlic bread. I added 2 tablespoons of chili powder, some crushed red chilies and a teaspoon of dried oregano. I like lots of beans in my chili so I added a can of romano beans then simmered it for about an hour. A nice quick and easy recipe!
