In case you missed my Segment today on ABC Good Morning KAKEland, here’s the recap and recipe!!! If you’re not using lentils in your chili, why not!? 🔥
They’re easier to digest than beans, higher in protein + micronutrients, lower in fat, and they hold up perfectly (no mushy chili). Add a few cozy toppings and this becomes next-level comfort food. 😋
Lentil Chili (3–4 servings):
• 1 lb 96% lean ground beef
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 Tbsp garlic, chopped
• Chili seasoning (or chili powder, cumin & cayenne to taste)
• 2 cans petite diced tomatoes
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup lentils
Brown beef with onion and garlic until softened; drain excess liquid. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer covered for ~20 minutes, until lentils are tender.
✨ Tip: Double the batch for easy lunches all week.
Top with Greek yogurt & sliced green onions and enjoy!
