- 1 pound extra-lean ground beef (90 percent lean)

This recipe is very good; however, if the measurements are correct and the portion sizes are correct (this makes 8 servings then each serving is around 768 calories... Not 295. Not sure where they got that number from. It's not actually as healthy as they're portraying it. Tastes very good, though... If you don't mind spending two hours in the gym after eating.

Easy and delicious recipe! I followed it exactly but the only thing I changed was I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef to make it a little healthier, and I actually prefer the taste of ground turkey, especially in chili. The adobo pepper and 2 tbsp sauce add just the right amount of kick to the chili, not too much, not too little. I found this recipe because my boyfriend and I are trying to eat healthier, and we both loved this dish. Will def be a new staple in our house!
