Ok... Apologies in advance for not having a picture! It's a testament to how quickly this meal was eaten.
One of the really challenging culinary days for me is Super Bowl Sunday. All those nachos, wings, pizza, etc are delicious, but clearly not Weight Watcher friendly! Therefore, I carefully planned our menu this Super Bowl Sunday to include modified family favorites that have a healthier spin. That and watching portion sizes should make the weekly weigh-in as palatable as the food!
The chili was so good, my sweet husband asked me to make chili with this recipe from now on. It had a rich, satifying meatiness and just enough spicyness to make you feel like a super hero....
Super Bowl Chili
1 15.5oz can Brooks Hot Chili Beans
1 15.5oz can Brooks Mild Chili Beans
2 15.5oz cans diced tomatoes (with juice)
1 bell pepper, diced
1lb lean ground beef, browned
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 c small pasta shells, cooked al dente
Brown the beef, then "sweat" the peppers until tender. Add everythig to the Crock Pot except the pasta. Cook on Low for 8 hours. Add the pasta right before serving. Enjoy with corn bread!
