30-Minute Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef, 95% lean
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium beef broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies
2 tablespoons chili powder
Toppings
shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
minced green onion (optional)

Preparation

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking it into 3/4 inch or so crumbles and stirring occasionally. Drain off the fat.
Stir in the beans, broth, tomatoes and chili powder, and bring to a boil. (You can hold back some of the broth if you want a thicker chili - it depends on whether you add extra beans or tomatoes. Or just cook it longer to reduce).
Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes to develop flavors, stirring occasionally.
Serve with toppings, as desired.
