oil, vinegar, garlic, mustard, basil,<br />

BEEF AND LENTIL CHILI<br />

2 lb ground beef<br />

1 medium onion, chopped<br />

1 garlic clove, minced<br />

2 cans (14-1/2 oz each) stewed<br />

tomatoes, chopped<br />

1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce<br />

3 tbsp chili powder<br />

1 oz semisweet chocolate<br />

1/4 tsp salt<br />

1 cup dried lentils, rinsed<br />

2 cups water<br />

In a Dutch oven, cook ground beef<br />

and onion over medium-high heat<br />

until beef is no longer pink, 6-8<br />

minutes; crumble meat. Add garlic;<br />

cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Add next<br />

5 ingredients; bring to a boil. (Note:<br />

the chocolate deepens the flavor – it<br />

doesn’t make it taste like chocolate!)<br />

Add lentils and water. Reduce heat;<br />

simmer, covered, until lentils are soft,<br />

about 1 hour, stirring often. Add water<br />

if mixture seems too dry.<br />

You can serve this on top of Indian<br />

Tacos, or with fresh onions, grated<br />

cheese and a dollop of sour cream. If<br />

you want a little more heat, add some<br />

cayenne powder. In a large skillet,<br />

heat oil over medium heat; cook beef<br />

and taco seasoning mix, stirring occasionally,<br />

for 8 to 10 minutes or until<br />

browned and cooked through.<br />
