makes 6 servings, about 2 cups eachHeat oil in 4 quart pan. Add onions and saute 3-4 min. Add garlic and meat, saute 1 min. Add tomatoes (undrained), beans (drained) and corn. Heat to a low boil. Meanwhile, in a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the water, cornstarch, cumin and chili powder. After the chili has come to a boil, add, stirring constantly. Liquid will thicken. Reduce heat and continue to simmer. If you are in a hurry, you can serve and eat now, but it's better if allowed to continue to cook for awhile. Dish into soup bowls and top with 2 Tbsp shredded cheddar cheese. Enjoy!Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CRAFTYC.
