Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams lean ground beef (96% lean or higher)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste (no sugar added)
- 1 cup beef or vegetable broth (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion begins to soften.
Mix in the diced tomato and tomato paste, stirring well to combine.
Pour in the beef or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to evenly incorporate the seasonings.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to blend and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once cooked, remove from heat and let the chili rest for a few minutes before serving.
Divide into 2 servings and enjoy!
