We love chili and I usually use ground beef or turkey. This time, I combined a few other recipes to utilize some angus beef cubes. I like to keep the Weight watcher points low - this yields about 1 cup per serving for 5 WW Smartpoints.

How To Make chili con carne

Step 1

Microwave 1 cup broth in a medium glass bowl or measuring cup until hot (or heat on stove and pour into bowl); add chili powders along with cornmeal, cocoa powder, sugar, garlic, oregano and cumin; stir well together and set aside.

Step 2

Toss beef with salt and pepper. Spray a dutch oven and sear meat cubes until nicely browned, at least on one side. Remove to plate.
Step 3

Add another spray and cook onions and peppers until softened.
Step 4

Add beer; bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in reserved spice mixture, and tomatoes with their liquid.
Step 5

Add beef; reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours (or cook in a 250°F oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours).
Step 6

Add beans, stir and heat through, about 5 minutes; squeeze in lime juice, if desired, and adjust seasonings to taste.
