Get ready to savor a wholesome and hearty bowl of Chili Con Carne like never before. This classic Tex-Mex dish is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures that will ignite your taste buds. At its core, it features a half-pound of extra lean, hormone-free ground beef, browned to perfection to provide a meaty and savory foundation. Diced onions and chopped green peppers add layers of aromatic goodness to the mix, while kidney beans, either from a can or soaked overnight for freshness, contribute a creamy and earthy texture.

The Healthiest Chili Con Carne
The sauce that envelops this chili is a medley of organic tomatoes—either from a can or freshly chopped—combined with tomato paste or additional organic tomatoes for an added richness. To balance and enhance the flavors, we season with a blend of sea salt, cumin, stevia, and a generous dose of chili powder. The secret ingredient that takes this chili to the next level is a cup of nutritional yeast, which adds a delightful umami note and depth to the dish. Simmered to perfection with a half-cup of water, this Chili Con Carne is a comforting bowl of Tex-Mex magic that's perfect for warming you up on a chilly evening or for sharing with friends and family during gatherings. It's a harmonious combination of ingredients that will keep you coming back for more.
