Ingredients

 6 ounces 96% lean ground beef
 Onion1 Medium, chopped
 Chili powder1 Tablespoon
 Pinto beans1 Can (10oz), drained
 Ground cumin1/2 Teaspoon
 Picante sauce1/2 Cup (16 tbs)
 1/2 cup shredded nonfat or reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese
 Scallions1/4 Cup (16 tbs), thinly sliced

Directions

1. Place the ground beef in a medium-sized nonstick skillet, and brown over medium-high heat, stining constantly. Drain off any excess fat, and add the onion and 2 teaspoons of the chili powder. Cover and cook over medium heat until the onions are crisp-tender. Set aside.
2. Place the beans, the remaining teaspoon of chili powder, and the cumin in a food processor or blender, and process to the desired consistency. Spread the bean mixture in a layer on the bottom of a 9-inch deep dish pie pan. Top the beans with the ground meat mixture, and add layers of the picante sauce, Cheddar cheese, and scallions, in that order.
3. If using a microwave oven, heat uncovered at 80-percent power for about 5 minutes, or until bubbly. If using a conventional oven, heat uncovered at 400°F for about 20 minutes, or until bubbly.
