Here is how you make Lean Ground Beef Chili:

In a 4 quart Dutch oven cook the beef until no longer pink. Drain off fat. Stir in undrained tomatoes, drained kidney beans, tomato sauce, onion, wine, chili powder, parsley flakes, basil, oregano, black pepper, salt, cinnamon, garlic, red pepper and bay leaf. Bring to boil; reduce heat. Simmer covered, about 2 hours; stir occasionally. Garnish with green or yellow pepper rings.(Note: I like to prepare the beef with an additional clove of garlic and seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder to taste, original recipe does not call for that)Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user EURCYNIA.
