Beans, ground beef, chili powder, jalapenos, etc. Tastes great with corn bread - and at 246 calories per cup, you might have calories left for a piece of corn bread! I usually eat mine with 1/6 of a prepared box of Jiffy corn bread. Also makes a great frozen lunch.

Ingredients
-
2 c dry Pinto beans
1 tbsp Olive Oil
half of a medium Onion
4 cloves Garlic
1 lb 93% Ground Beef
3 tbsp Chili Powder
1 tbsp chopped Parsley
14.5 oz can Diced Tomatoes
2 fresh Jalapeno Peppers
Salt to taste (NOT in nutritional info)
Directions
Cook pinto beans. I usually make mine in the slow cooker - soak in the refrigerator overnight the night before, then cook for six to eight hours until done the day of. I have NOT included this time in the prep or cooking time. You could cook them differently, or just use canned.
Heat olive oil over about medium heat in a large skillet. Cook (chopped) onion and garlic in the oil until done. Add ground beef and cook until done. Add chili powder (may adjust to taste), parsley, tomatoes, peppers, and salt. (Peppers, also, should be adjusted to taste - I considered the two peppers to make it a little spicy, your mileage may vary.) Cook for a couple minutes, just until well-mixed, and then add beans. Simmer for at least ten minutes, adding water if necessary to keep moist. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld.
Makes 7 1-cup servings. I ate one, put one in the fridge, and froze the rest for lunches - it freezes well and makes a nice lunch with a carb on the side.
