The ingredients for Hearty Chili with a Kick are:

1.5 lbs. extra lean ground beef
1 qt. tomato juice
1 29 oz. can tomato puree
1 15 oz. can red beans or chili beans
1 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup green pepper, diced
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tsp. cayenne pepper (go down if you want to ease up on the heat)
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin

Salt, pepper (to taste)

Here is how you make Hearty Chili with a Kick:

Brown the ground beef; drain. Mix beef with all other ingredients in a large pot; let simmer at least an hour (simmering up to 2 hours will bring out the full flavor!). ENJOY! I have also made this with Morningstar soy crumbles instead of ground beef and that is also DELICIOUS! (Still lots of protein, less fat) You can also cut back on the meat and load up on the veggies--the liquid takes on a GREAT flavor of its own without the meat!Delicious topped with a sprinkle of low fat cheddar cheese.Makes about 8 bowls (servings).Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user GARDENIA06.
