Easy Beef Chilli

I've made a hearty chilli in numerous ways, from using ground turkey to no meat at all. It's such an easy meal to prepare and is also ingredient friendly. I find myself using the extra veg I have in the fridge, and knowing me there's always a can of beans kicking around that I can add.

Try this recipe the next time you're looking to scratch that chilli itch!

Ingredients

2 cups ground beef

3-4 cups chopped veg

(options: mushroom, sweet pepper, jalapeno, onion, corn, carrots, celery, sweet potato)

1-540ml can of beans

(options: white or red kidney beans, chick peas, black beans, mixed beans)

2 tbsp tomato paste

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp cumin

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp chilli powder (or anything spicy)

1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

Heat olive oil on med-high heat, then add beef, spices and garlic. Make sure meat has cooked after several minutes, then add tomato paste, worcestershire sauce and vegetables. Mix around and let cook for 10 minutes.





Add beans, and mix again. Cover and let cook for 50 minutes on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.

The longer it simmers, the better.

Enjoy!
