Simple + Healthy Chili

November 29, 2016 Mckenzie Hettman

Something about fall makes me crave chili and cornbread. There's just nothing better than a warm bowl of chili on a cool and crisp day. The best thing is that this chili is so simple yet so full of flavor. It's super easy to make and takes only 30 minutes to cook. We often make this as part of our meal prep and eat it for lunch all week long. It's definitely high protein and makes for a great snack, lunch, or dinner. Try it with our cornbread and enjoy the perfect fall meal!


Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 30 minutes |  Total Time: 40 minutes


Ingredients

  • 1 cup carrots, diced (about one large carrot stick)
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded & diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 lbs grass fed beef 
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne 
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 TBSP ground cumin
  • 2 TBSP chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste 
  • 15 oz can dark red kidney beans, drained 
  • 15 oz can tri-bean blend (black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans), drained
  • 2 cups tomato sauce (no added sugar!)

Method 

  1. Lightly grease a medium pot, set aside.
  2. Peel and dice the carrot stick, chop the onion, remove seeds and dice the jalapeno, mince the garlic cloves. Place the ingredients in the greased pot over medium heat. 
  3. Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up as it browns. Cook until the veggies are tender and the meat is browned (5- 10 minutes). 
  4. Pour all seasonings, beans, and tomato sauce into the pot and mix into the meat/veggies. Turn heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
  5. Server warm with some "lightened up"cornbread! 

Notes

  • Top with guacamole and green onions for additional flavor/color
  • Feel free to get creative with veggies. I have added zucchini, bell peppers, and spinach in the past for some extra greens. It doesn't change the flavor much :)

I wasn’t planning on sharing my #bestnine but my heart melted a little when I saw that it was all pictures of my family! So sweet that my family was “liked” more than all the food pics. ❤️❤️
Follow your heart.
I remember when the office was still running and EVERYONE said they had a love like Jim and Pam. From the beginning Brian and I always said we were more like Michael & Holly.. Several years later and a couple beet farmers later, I think we're identifying more with Dwight & Angela😂 #bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica
Do you have a food you eat several times a week, every week? For us, it's this simple arugula salad😍 All you need is a heaping bowl of arugula (my favorite green), shaved Parmesan, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, cracked pepper, and course sea salt. #simplefancy
My garden is growing like crazy which means salad season isn't over yet❤️🥗

This weekend was absolutely blissful🖤 For Huck's first camping trip, we went to the mountain and set up camp nestled in a field of wild Huckleberries. I mean how cute is that?! It was the coolest thing to have thousands of wild berries surrounding us and the view of Mount Adams was stunning!
I'm dreaming of fall after the last few days of cooler weather and even some rain! Definitely looking forward to the food more than anything😊 This delicata squash and kale salad with maple vinaigrette is the reason fall foods are so pretty🍁
