Certified by the American Heart Association, this traditional chili couldn't be any easier. Simply brown lean Ground Beef, add in pantry-friendly ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes. The result? A chili that tastes like it's been cooking for hours.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound 96% Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 can (15 ounces) reduced-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) unsalted beef broth
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) unsalted diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (4 ounces) green chilies or jalapeno peppers
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder

Directions

  1. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings.

    Cook's Tip:
    Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

  2. Stir in beans, broth, tomatoes, green chilies and chili powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes to develop flavors, stirring occasionally. Garnish with Toppings, as desired.

    Cook's Tip: Omit green onions and cilantro if serving to early eaters (6-7 months). Toppings like avocado and shredded cheddar cheese provide a great opportunity for providing a variety of taste and texture to this dish for early eaters.

    Optional Toppings    :     Sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro leaves, sliced green onion, shredded Cheddar cheese
