Chili is the perfect one-dish dinner for weeknights, potlucks, and those all-important game days. Great for lunches, too! Not to mention, this sweet yet zesty meal packs a serious health punch—kidney beans are a good source of iron, protein and fibre, and tomatoes are rich in potassium and a nutrient called lycopene, which contributes to a healthy heart.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef, ground chicken or turkey
  • 1 can (19 oz/540 ml) kidney beans
  • 1 pkg Cha Cha Chili Seasoning
  • 1 can (28 oz/796 ml) diced tomatoes
  • 1⁄2 cup water

Preparation

  1. In a large Multipurpose Pot or fry pan over medium heat, cook beef until browned, 3–4 min, using Ground Meat Separator to break up chunks. Drain excess fat.
  2. Meanwhile, drain and rinse beans.
  3. Stir in seasoning, beans, tomatoes, and water. Simmer 12–15 min, stirring occasionally.
