Wheat Chili

Wheat Chili

1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
½ green pepper, diced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 quart stewed tomatoes
2 cups tomato sauce
4 cups cooked whole wheat
(go here for directions on cooking wheat)
1 can kidney beans, drained

Brown the ground beef and drain off grease. Add onion and green pepper and cook until softened. Combine with the rest of the ingredients in a crock pot. Cook for at least an hour – the longer it does, the better it tastes because the wheat takes on the flavor of the other foods.

Makes about 8 2-cup servings at about 400 calories each.

Serve with chopped olives, grated cheese, tortilla chips and sour cream if desired.
