Southwestern Chili

Quick and delicious, this southwestern chili is the perfect example of a real food twist on favorite comfort foods. The addition of beans and corn (if your gut tolerates them) along with a half pound of beef rather than a whole pound makes an affordable meal that saves food dollars.

If you want to add another layer of nutrient density, cook your black beans in .

    • quick and delicious. The only thing to chop is the onion! This was super easy and turned out delicious.


    • Simple, quick, and the whole family loved it! Very easy to prepare, quick cooking time, added some shredded cheese on top of each serving, and served with the suggested cornbread. It was a hit and we will definitely put this on our regular rotation!


    • Easy and delicious. I doubled the meat and beans and left out the corn. Also added 1.5x amount of spice, and about 1/4 cup broth. Served with Simple Guacamole.


    • Made it without the salt & doubled all the seasoning as we like lots of chili flavor. Topped with fresh jalapeños & avocado. Serve over rice or my personal fav – top with a big handful of crunchy, plain coleslaw mix.


    • Super Quick, Super Easy & Tasty. I served it with guacamole, cheese & chips. Kid approved.


    • Yum. Very tasty.


    • Not gonna win any awards but was quick and simple.
