Beef Chili Recipe- BETTER Than Wendy's!

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Turkey is lower in fat; pork is often less expensive.

kidney beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Black beans are more nutritious; pinto beans are usually cheaper.

Turn on the stove and add a little bit of olive oil to the pan.

Add lean ground beef to the pan and brown it, breaking up the chunks with a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes.

Once the beef is browned, add paprika, garlic powder, and salt; stir well.

Pour in the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes, then mix well.

Add water to the mixture and then add the kidney beans.

Cover the pot and let the chili slow cook on low to medium heat for about 1 hour.

After 1 hour, remove the lid and increase the heat to high, stirring occasionally to thicken the chili.

Once the chili reaches the desired consistency, chop some onion and add cheese on top before serving.
