Super Quick and Easy Fat Burning Beef Chili
Last year I made the chili to beat all chili’s! The problem was I miscalculated how much chili powder I needed to add to the mix. Great if you like this sort of thing super hot, but it made it inedible for the rest of the family!
This time I have opted for a more friendly version with a bit less, but just enough zing!
Ingredients
600 grams lean beef mince
750 gram can of kidney or mixed beans (give them a good wash)
1 medium onion chopped
1 medium tomato chopped
2 large carrots chopped
1/2 green , red and yellow capsicum chopped
2 cloves of garlic or equivalent crushed
750 mL V8 vegetable juice or equivalent
1/4 Cup cashew meal
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Go ahead and brown the mince with the onion and garlic and spices mixed through.
Put all the other ingredients into a large pot with a lid and add the mince mix when it has browned.
Bring the mix to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes.
This should make enough for 4 large or 6 medium serves. It keeps well for leftovers and freezes equally as well.
You can get creative and mix and match the vegetables, spices and juice that you use for varying results.
Give this a try and let me know what you think!
