How to Make Easy Beef Chili
This diabetes-friendly dish is filled with lean beef—which provides 10 essential nutrients, including protein and iron—and beans, which provide fiber and more protein. It’s a warming, nutritious meal you can feel good about serving to your entire family.
Complete your plate: Top the chili with a dollop of Greek yogurt and Almost Smooth Salsa. Add a veggie-rich side dish, like this Kale Apple Slaw.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Heat the olive or canola 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.
-
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, 8 minutes, breaking up the pieces using the back of a wooden spoon while cooking.
-
Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and stir to combine. 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.
-
Remove the chili from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
