Connie Staal doesn't have to ring the dinner bell twice when these Western-style beans are on the menu. Using lean ground beef makes the entree lighter on calories, but not on taste. "Since I began fixing lighter meals for my husband, I've learned lots of tricks to lower the fat in foods," she writes from Greenbrier, Arkansas.
