Chili!!!

This is a DELICIOUS recipe that I've been making for years.  It can be done with extra lean ground beef or ground chicken.  It's also only 3 points per 2 cups on Weight Watchers!!!


Ingredients
1 lb extra lean ground beef

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 pound mushrooms chopped
1 large green pepper seeded and chopped
3 cups corn kernels
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans kidney beans
2 stalks celery -- chopped
1 tin tomato paste
1 tablespoon cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions:

Heat olive oil in a large stew pot. Add onion and garlic and sauté until onion is wilted, about 5 minutes.

In a separate pot brown extra lean ground beef or ground chicken.

Add mushrooms and sauté another 10 minutes. Stir in green pepper, corn, tomatoes,
beans,  celery all seasonings & tomato paste.  Add browned beef/chicken.  

Cover and cook until vegetables are tender.  I've been known to leave it on low for as long as 4 hours, but it can be ready in 30-45 minutes if you're strapped for time.

You can add more spices if you like it hotter.
