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 the stovetop on medium high and add 1 teaspoon of oil.

Add around 2 pounds of ground beef and start browning it, breaking it up and letting it sit for a couple of minutes.

Flip the beef to brown on the other side, then let it sit again.

Check for browning by playing 'meat peek-a-boo'.

Chop a big yellow onion and add it to the pot along with more garlic, cooking until they start to brown.

Spoon the browned beef into the pot and add 1 teaspoon of salt, breaking up the beef further.

Add 1 can of crushed tomatoes to the pot, stirring in the beef.

Add 2 tablespoons of chili powder and 1 tablespoon of cumin, stirring to combine.

Pour in 1 cup of beef broth and cover the pot, letting it simmer on low.

Open a can of kidney beans, rinse them off, and add them to the pot after the chili has simmered for a while.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar to the chili and let it simmer for another half an hour to an hour.
