Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams 100% lean ground beef (96% lean or better)
- 1 medium (about 100 grams) Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste (sugar-free)
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chicken or beef broth (low-sodium, fat-free)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet or saucepan over medium heat. If needed, use a small amount of water or broth to prevent sticking.
Add the lean ground beef to the pan, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.
While the beef is cooking, dice the tomato and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the diced tomato, tomato paste, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine the seasonings with the beef and tomatoes.
Pour in the chicken or beef broth and bring the mixture to a light simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chili cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, keeping in mind the restrictions of HCG Phase 2.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy as a hearty, Phase 2-approved meal!
