    SoupStew - Chili

    Vegetable cooking spray
    1 pound 95% lean ground beef
    1-1/2 cups chopped onions
    1 cup chopped green bell pepper
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1-2 tablespoons chili powder
    2 teaspoons dried cumin
    1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
    1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) no-salt whole tomatoes, undrained, coarsely chopped
    1 can (6 ounces) reduced-sodium tomato paste
    3/4 cup beer or reduced-sodium beef broth
    1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
    2-3 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa
    1 can (15 ounces) red kidney beans, rinsed, drained
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded fat-free, or reduced-fat, Cheddar cheese
    1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions and tops
    1/2 cup fat-free sour cream

    Spray large saucepan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat
    until hot. Add ground beef, onions, bell pepper, and garlic;
    cook over medium heat until meat is brown and vegetables are
    tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano,
    and cloves; cook 1 to 2 minutes longer.

    Add tomatoes and liquid, tomato paste, beer, brown sugar, and
    cocoa to beef mixture. Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer,
    covered, 1 hour. Stir in beans and simmer, uncovered, to thicken,
    if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Spoon chili into bowls; sprinkle each with equal
    amounts of cheese, green onions, and sour cream.
    Yield: 8 servings (about 1 cup each)
