This is the best chili recipe ever that I've made. I used part lean ground sirloin and part Jimmy Dean sausage and canned chili beans. Everyone who tried it gave it high marks for flavor. It was satisfying without being too heavy.
In a stock pot set over medium heat, cook the the ground sirloin and sausage, stirring and breaking up the clumps, until no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and garlic and continue to cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to mix.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and then reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for approximately 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat and stand for a while (ideally, at least 20 minutes) to give the mixture time to thicken and flavors to meld further.
Serve warm with optional garnishes if desired.
Optional garnishes: cheese, raw onions, tortilla chips and freshly squeezed lime.
Recipe Notes
To keep this WW friendly, you may want to use all lean ground beef. But if you're more interested in maximum flavor, I'd say do what she did - use half ground beef and half sausage.Click here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.7*SmartPoints (Green plan)7*SmartPoints (Blue plan)7*SmartPoints (Purple plan)7*PointsPlus (Old plan)
