Quick & Easy Beef Chili

Some nights , i’d like to cook something that is easy and healthy still . Well .. most of the nights i actually would prefer to cook something easy and quick anyway . Less dishes to do , and ready within 30 minutes or so . You know how good chili usually takes hours for the flavor to blend in . People would say you cannot make a good bowl of chili if you don’t let the flavor blends in . Well .. in my opinion , this quick and easy beef chili , doesn’t need hours for the flavor to blend in . Better yet , it is healthier .. it’s really not your regular chili that is only full of meat , tomatoes and beans .

It doesn’t take long to cook either , it takes so quick to prep , and you can serve it as is with just crackers , or add tater tots , or make chili dogs , whatever suits your taste . This beef chili , as long as you use extra lean ground beef , or extra lean ground turkey , it should be pretty healthy . The extra carbs would be coming from all the vegetables and beans , which is also healthy !

Ingredients :

• 1 lb extra lean ground sirloin 93/7
• 1 can diced tomatoes ( if you have fire roasted diced tomatoes , it’s even better )
• 1 can chili beans ( i used bush’s beans , spicy )

• 145 grams chopped onion
• 3 cloves of garlic , minced
• 145 grams diced sweet potato ( peeled )
• 1.5 tablespoon chili powder ( i used mix between ancho chili powder and regular chili powder , if you only have regular , that is perfectly fine as well )
• 1 tsp cumin
• kosher salt and black pepper for taste
• 1 tsp of better than beef bouillon
• chopped cilantro
• half a can of water

Directions :

• In a skillet , heat up about 5 grams of olive oil . Add onion, garlic , pepper , bell pepper , sweet potato . Add salt and pepper . Saute for a few minutes .
