Notes

  • PCOS Boost: For an extra nutritional boost, stir in a handful of fresh spinach during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

  • Spice Level: For a milder chili, use 1 tbsp of chili powder. For more heat, add a diced jalapeño with the onions.

  • Thickness: For a thicker chili, simmer uncovered for the last 5-10 minutes.

  • Meal Prep: This chili stores and freezes beautifully for easy future meals.
