A hearty one-pot meal bursting with protein and flavor, packed with ground meat, beans, and tomatoes, all simmered to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey or beef (about 450 g)
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth (about 480 ml)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Brown the meat: Add the ground turkey or beef to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink.
  4. Build the chili: Stir in the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Add broth and simmer: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir everything together. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve: Serve hot, optionally topped with shredded cheese or sliced avocado.

Notes

For a leaner bowl, opt for ground turkey; for a richer flavor, use ground beef. Adjust any seasonings to taste after simmering.
