    I make mine with either 93% lean ground beef or turkey. I only added 1 tablespoon of light sour cream and a pinch of reduced fat cheddar. I like the idea of sticking veggies in there like zucchini. Only use a little oil when you are sauteing the meat and veggies. And yes, stay away from the fritos!

    Buffalo makes it extra lean but you could use sirloin or ground round.

    This is the best chili recipe I have ever had- I got it from my weight loss coach.

    This recipe makes 4 servings:

    1 lb very lean beef, browned...pour off any fat
    4 Tablespoon of tomato puree, with no sugar
    2-16 oz cans tomatoes, no sugar (recipe says fire-roasted) - I use Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes.
    1 onion peeled and finely chopped
    2 cloves garlic, crushed- I used minced garlic from my giant garlic jar! Can't get enough garlic!
    1 teaspoon chile powder
    cayenne to taste- or Tony's!
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    salt and pepper to taste

    remember to read labels on canned products- this is very low calorie, so it's okay to add sour cream or tofutti with cheese or Daiya shreds on top!
