ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork can be more affordable.

kidney beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Black beans provide a different flavor and are often cheaper in bulk.

Start by prepping the veggies: chop the bell peppers, jalapenos, and onion.

For the bell peppers, trim off the crown and slice around the membrane, then dice them.

For the onion, simply dice it up.

For the jalapeno, slice it in half, remove the seeds and membrane, and then dice it.

Keep a scrap bowl handy for vegetable scraps while prepping.

Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add 3 lb of ground beef to the heated Dutch oven and brown it, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.

Once the beef is browned, add the diced onions, bell peppers, and jalapenos to the pot and sauté until softened.

Stir in spices: add chili powder, cumin, nature seasoning, cayenne, and smoked paprika.

Add 1 can of Campbell's tomato soup, diced tomatoes, black kidney beans, red kidney beans, and beef broth to the pot.

Add cinnamon, cocoa powder, and tomato paste to the mixture.

If desired, add a splash of beer to the chili.

Stir everything together until well combined.

Bring the chili to a simmer and let it cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
