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 />
