How to Make Bean Chili Meat And Sugar Free
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium chopped onion, 2 stalks chopped celery, 1 chopped green bell pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 1 pound ground beef (or turkey) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 2 (15-ounce) cans of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 2 (15-ounce) cans of pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor. Stir occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili toppings (shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, etc.)
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
