High Protein Chili (Beef)
When the weather cools off, there's nothing I crave more than warm soups and stews. This high protein beef chili really hits the spot! With loads of protein from lean ground beef and black beans, this hearty chili will is the perfect comfort meal on a chilly night. Also great for meal prep!
Ingredients
- 1 lb (454g) 90% lean ground beef
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (185) red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup (130g) white onion, chopped
- 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 4oz can green chilis
- 8oz can tomato sauce
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
Optional Garnishes
- Shredded cheddar cheese, optional
- pickled jalapeños, optional
- scallions, optional
- sour cream or plain greek yogurt, optional
Instructions
- Place a large skillet or pot over medium - high heat. Add 90% lean ground beef and cook, until browned. I didn't have any grease to drain off, but if you use a fattier ground beef, drain extra fat.
- Add in the minced garlic, chopped onions and bell peppers and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add in the spices, diced green chili (along with the juices), rinsed black beans, and tomato sauce.
- Mix well, and add 2 cups of water
- Simmer for 25 minutes or until chili has cooked down and thickened to your preference. Taste and add additional salt if needed.
- Serve with your favorite toppings - we love pickled jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of nonfat plain Greek yogurt.
