Diet Chili

Directions

Heat the oil in a medium-sized heavy saucepan over medium heat.

Add the onions and cook until they are translucent.

Combine the meat with the ground chile, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt.

Add this meat-and-spice mixture to the pan.

Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes until the meat is evenly browned.

Add the tomatoes and green chiles with their liquid.

Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour.

Stir occasionally, adding water if necessary.

Taste and adjust seasonings.

Allow to cool, then refrigerate.

When fat has risen and congealed, skim it off, than reheat chili.
