A-1 Chili

This one is another one of those rare, great finds from KraftFoods.com. It's a wonderfully different take on the usual winter chili.

1-1/4 lb. 90% lean ground beef

1 large green pepper, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

1 Tblsp garlic powder

3 Tblsp. chili powder

1 can (14-1/2 oz) tomatoes, undrained

1/2 cup water

1 can (16 oz) kidney beans, drained

1/3 cup A-1 Original Steak Sauce

Cook meat, green pepper, onion & garlic in large heavy saucepan on medium heat 8-10 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, stirring frequently. Add chili powder; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. 

**NOTE: if you do not use the 90% lean ground beef you will need to cook the beef first & then drain & then return to the pan & keep going with other ingredients. Otherwise, the chili gets very greasy.**

Drain tomatoes, reserving liquid; chop tomatoes. Add tomatoes, reserved liquid & the water to meat mixture. Bring to a boil; cover. Reduce heat to low; simmer 15 min, stirring occasionally. 

Add beans & steak sauce; stir until well blended. Cover & simmer an additional 5 min.
