Yummy Chili

My friend Karen has requested some healthy meal recipes in her quest to get healthier. I think it is hard to find family friendly and lower fat meals. But this chili recipe is super yummy and easy to make. The kids love to take it in their thermos for lunch. It is 5 Weight Watcher points per 1 cup serving.

Chili

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 can (46 oz) tomato juice
2 cans (15 oz ea.) tomato sauce
2 cans (15 oz ea.)kidney beans, drained
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp oregano
salt and pepper
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 cup chili powder (you can use more or less depending on your taste)

Brown ground beef and onion, drain. Mix all together in crockpot and cook on low 8 hours. You can also cook this on the stove top and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
