How to Make No Beans Chili Diabetic

  2. Remove the onion from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add 1 pound of lean ground beef to the same skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
  4. Transfer the cooked beef to a wire mesh strainer to drain excess fat.
  5. Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
  6. Return the cooked ground beef and onion to the skillet.
  7. Stir in one 15-ounce can of diced tomatoes (undrained) and 1 packet (1 ounce) of taco seasoning.
  8. Add 1-2 cups of water to achieve your desired consistency.
  9. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 25-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
