Here is how you make Beef and Bean Chili:

If you have a good wok or heavy dutch oven that doesn't stick you probably won't need any oil - or perhaps just a spritz of Pam.Cube stewing beef if required. (my butcher never cuts it as fine as I like). Brown in pan.Add chopped onion and garlic and cook until onion is tender.Add celery, mushrooms and seasoning mix. If it's dry, add a bit of water but the natural liquids in the mushrooms and onions are usually enough for me.Stir through an let the spice mix simmer a bit.Add corn (optional - I only add this if I have some left over from another meal). Add chili beans, drained and rinsed kidney beans and tomatoes. Let simmer until it begins to thicken stirring often so it doesn't stick.About 10 minutes before ready to serve, add chopped peppers.Adjust seasonings as desired. Depending on my audience I use chili powder, cayenne, fresh parsley, italian spaghetti sauce seasoning, celery salt, hot sauce, basil or oregano (sometimes both) although if you're not a big spice fan, the seasoning packet may be plenty for you.Serve in bowls as is or add a dollop of fat free sour cream and or a bit of shredded monterey jack or cheddar cheese.Serving Size: 2 cupsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AURORADAWN5.
