Answer 1

1½ hours 20 min prep 8 servings :recipe from recipe zaar . com

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef (90%-95%)
1 (16 ounce) can red kidney beans
3 (16 ounce) cans Del Monte crushed tomatoes with mild green chilies
1 jar mild salsa
hot sauce (Fire In The Hole is good!)
1 can sliced olives
salt and pepper

Brown ground beef in (pre-heated) large skillet with a little water.
Drain and rinse beef in a collander.
MUST RINSE IF YOU WANT IT LOW FAT!
Leave the collander in the sink.
Put beef in a stock pot.
Rinse kidney beans in the collander.
Mix them with the beef.
Add all other ingredients.
Cook over med-low heat for about an hour.
Stir once in a while.
DON'T LET IT BURN!
Serve hot.

Also great with Tortilla chips and shredded cheddar cheese.
Note: For the best Nachos EVER, Spread finished chili over tortilla chips, top with shredded Monteray Jack cheese.
Place in preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Sour cream on the side.
You can make this into 2 layers also.
Just add more chips, then chili, then cheese again.
Same cooking time if layered.

Answer 2

You can out most of the fat quickly by replacing the ground beef with a better ground chuck. You can even go with ground turkey, ground chicken, or ground pork. And if you really want to cut the fat, you can even go with tofu. I suggest the firmest they have and then cut it into smallish squares. Tofu doesn't really taset like anything as it is and if you cook it with certain items or dishes it will absorb the flavor. I just made a tofu lasagna and I sauteed the tofu squares with my garlic, onion, and mushrooms, and it was a great lasagna. Another thing to watch for is the beans you buy, there are beans that are more healthy than others which I don't know off the top of my head but there is so much information on the Internet these days you could find it.
