Pizza Chili con carne recipe

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner and lower in fat.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: monterey jack cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

kidney beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: canned pinto beans

Black beans are nutritious and often cheaper.

pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

Whole wheat dough adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add bell pepper, canned tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper; mix well.

Simmer the chili mixture for 10-15 minutes until thickened.

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to desired thickness.

Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

Spread the chili mixture evenly over the dough.

Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.

Add sliced jalapeños for extra heat, if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
