Ground beef, extra lean, 96% lean 2 pounds
Onions, raw, 1 medium (2-1/2" dia), chopped

Chili powder, 4 tsp

Serve with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Can freeze leftovers for another meal.

Crumble groind beef in a 5 qt. dutch oven and cook over med. high heat. As beef cooks, chop the onion, celery and pepper and add to the beef. Continue cooking until beef is browned. Can drain if necessary but not much fat there if you use 96% lean beef. Add the cans of tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beans (undrained). Add chili powder and stir to mix. Simmer over low heat 25 mins.
