5-Ingredient Pantry Chili

This delicious chili only calls for 5 ingredients and you can find most of them already in your pantry!

Prep: 5 minutes   Cook: 20 minutes   Serves: 4                     

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef, turkey or chicken
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 can (15.5 ounces) black, kidney or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (10 ounces) Mexican-style diced tomatoes
• 1 cup beef, chicken or vegetable broth
• Toppings: sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, shredded Cheddar cheese and/or pickled jalapeño slices (optional)

Recipe

1. In large saucepot, add beef and chili powder; cook over medium-high heat 8 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally.
2. Stir in beans, tomatoes and broth; heat to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 10 minutes.
3. Stir in salt and pepper to taste; serve topped with toppings, if desired.

Chef Tips

For a vegetarian version, 2 cups of your favorite cooked grain can be substituted for the ground meat. Add all ingredients to the saucepot at once, and heat to a simmer over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes.

Garbanzo beans or cannellini beans, and any canned diced tomatoes (up to 15.5 ounces) can be used in this recipe.
