Hcg Friendly Beef Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 1/2 ounces extra lean ground beef
1 medium tomatoes (pureed or use 1 14oz can of diced tomato)
3 -4 minced garlic cloves
1/2 1/2 cup beef broth (I used 1/4 and 1/4) or 1/2 cup water (I used 1/4 and 1/4)
Spices which include but add what you like
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon Braggs liquid aminos

Preparation

** These are just suggestions, so please add more or less \tdepending on your taste. I like my chili spicy so I tend to add more chili powder, cayenne and black pepper.
Saute garlic over med. heat using a little liquid so your garlic won't burn. Add beef and let brown, be sure to keep moving it around so it doesn't burn since this is EXTRA Lean beef and there is practically no fat. Add more liquid if you need to about a Tablespoon at a time.
While meat is browning dice up tomato and puree in blender, add a little broth or water to help it move around a little in the blender if \tneeded.
Once meat is brown add the tomato puree and 1/2 cup of the \tliquid. Begin adding spices, try a little at a time if you are unsure \tand then add by taste. Let the chili simmer on med/low heat for \tabout 15 min or until it reaches the consistency you like. I like mine a little thicker so I let it cook about 15 minute.
