1 tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes
(14.4 oz.) Krrrrisp Kraut Sauerkraut
1 can (15 oz.) pinto beans
1 can (14 oz.) low-sodium beef broth
3 to 4 tbsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. pepper 

Heat oil in 3-quart saucepan. Brown meat, onions and garlic. Drain. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, partially covered, for 25 to 30 minutes. (4 to 6 servings)
