                    You'll only need one skillet and 20 minutes to whip up this hearty, slightly spicy Chili Con Carne, courtesy of Marline Emmal of Vancouver, British Columbia. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)  |  
                                                1-1/2 cups reduced-sodium tomato juice  |  
                                                3/4 cup kidney beans, rinsed and drained  |  
                                                2 tablespoons chopped onion  |  
                                                1 teaspoon chili powder  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon ground cumin  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon minced garlic  |  
                                                2 to 3 drops hot pepper sauce  |  
                                                garnish:  |  
                                                thinly sliced green onion, optional  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Garnish with green onion if desired.
