Cooking with Kate

Get the Dish from Trish round 2

One of our Fall favorites...


Chili-A Trish original creation

1 lb ground beef-I use Laura's lean 4%
1 large onion-chopped
1 large green pepper-chopped
4 stalks of celery -chopped
2 Tbsp garlic
2 Tbsp cumin
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
2 Tbsp worcestershire
1 Tbsp sugar
2 cans of fire roasted tomatoes diced (I use Muir Glen with diced chilies)
1 can corn-no salt added
2 cans red kidney beans (low sodium)
1 can or bottle of beer-whatever you have around, but Guinness(gives it a more rich smokey flavor) and Miller Light seem to work best (Shiner is a great beer to use for those of you in Texas)
1 cup of beef broth-no salt added
1 bottle of low sodium V8 (46 fl oz)
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste...you can also throw in some crushed red pepper and cayenne if you like it spicy.


Begin to brown ground beef. Add onion until tender and translucent. Add garlic, green pepper, celery and cook until beef is fully browned. Then add everything else and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1-2 hours or throw it in the crockpot! Serve with whole wheat crackers or tortilla chips. I sometimes add avocado, low fat sour cream, and 2% sharp cheddar for an extra added kick:) Enjoy!
