Easy Beef Chili

Easy Beef Chili

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 jalapeño pepper (seeds removed, minced)
  • 1 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1 (15.5 oz) can low-sodium kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 (15 oz) can low-sodium cannellini or great northern beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 (15.5 oz) can low-sodium black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can no-added-salt roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 (6-oz) can low-sodium tomato paste
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon stevia brown sugar blend
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño and cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, 3 minutes.

  2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, 8 minutes, breaking up the pieces while cooking.

  3. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and stir. Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the beef is cooked through and the flavors combine, 30 minutes. Stir occasionally during cooking time.

  4. Remove the chili from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
