Black Bean Chili with Spaghetti Squash #SundaySupper
 Black Bean Chili with Spaghetti Squash Today’s Sunday Supper post is all about lean ground beef. I enjoy finding delicious tasty ways to change up my eating habits. About a year ago I decided to change the way I eat. I knew I couldn’t use the word diet anywhere or I would of sabotaged myself the first time I slipped up. I also knew that whatever I did it had to be long term which meant I had to change the way I cooked. I sit at a computer all day and also have to had both of my knees replaced. It was all of the excuses I needed to settle for my weight gain over the last 10 years. Last year changing the way I eat let me loose almost 70 lbs.and I never felt like I was on diet! Dishes like this delicious Black Bean Chili with Spaghetti Squash is one of the ways I did it. I now only buy ground beef that is 93% lean. I always try to get additional vegetables in what I eat as well. I think you will be surprised to see how tasty chili is over spaghetti squash. Have you ever cooked with dried peppers like the poblano pepper I used in this recipe? I love using them and it is a great way to amp up the flavor especially in your Mexican dishes. To use the dried peppers I soak them in warm water for at least 20 minutes to soften them up. Then I put it in the blender with a little more water. Pulse until the pepper is in very small pieces and it is ready to use. It will really add a ton of flavor without adding heat. I always buy the mild poblano peppers. You can skip adding them if you like but I would make a bet that once you try them you’ll find all kind of excuses to be using them. 5.0 from 1 reviews Black Bean Chili with Spaghetti Squash Author: Mary Ellen @ Recipes Food and Cooking Recipe type: Beef, Healthy Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 1 hour Total time: 1 hour 15 mins Serves: Serves 4 1 lb. 93% lean ground beef 1 28 oz. can tomatoes 1 cup chopped onions 1/2 cup diced peppers 1 6 oz can tomato paste 3 - 4 stalks celery 1 dried poblano pepper 1 28 oz. can water 1 can black beans 1 can corn 3 tablespoons chili powder 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon cumin salt and pepper Spaghetti Squash 1 lb. 93% lean ground beef 1 28 oz. can tomatoes 1 cup chopped onions 1/2 cup diced peppers 1 6 oz can tomato paste 3 - 4 stalks celery 1 dried poblano pepper 1 28 oz. can water 1 can black beans 1 can corn 3 tablespoons chili powder 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon cumin salt and pepper Spaghetti Squash Put the poblano pepper in a bowl of water to soften for at least 20 minutes.
