Clean Eating Crock Pot Chili - 21 Day Fix Style
2lbs ground beef
1 onion - chopped
2 red peppers, chopped
2 cups carrots, chopped
1.5 cups celery, chopped
15 oz can diced tomatoes
15 can tomato sauce (get one with no extra junk added!)
1 extra can of water
2 15 oz cans black beans
Seasonings to taste:
salt & pepper
chili powder
cumin
basil (I had basil powder on hand and it was *fine* but fresh is better!!)
onion powder
Toppings
All natural turkey bacon cooked SUPER crispy - (Applegate makes a great gluten free one... although "great & gluten free-turkey bacon never really go hand-in-hand)
Avocado, pitted and insides all chopped up to top with
How I did it:
Step 1. Cook the onions and the beef together in a saucepan.
Step 2. Feel slightly annoyed that you have to cook something that is labeled a "crockpot meal" - its okay. I did too, you will get over it after you taste the deliciousness.
Step 3. Drain ground meat juice. Marvel in your healthy natural for not eating gross oils. You are awesome!
Step 4.Chop the veggies. Allow your toddler to play with second pepper because you do what you have to do to get meals cooked (this is a safe place!).
Step 5. Throw all that stuff in the crock pot. Mix in the veggies and sauces on top. Stir. Mix. Stir it up again. Relish in the fact you are getting an arm work out right now. Wow, you are killing it on this healthy lifestyle thing!
Step 6. Set crock pot on low for 7 hours.
Step 7. Come back. Swirl again - your arm may be tired.
Spoon it all out into individual bowls and top with crumbled bacon/avocado. Gobble up, relish in the fact that even a one year old will eat it and love life!
21 Day Fix Math: 2 Cups Equals

- 1 Yellow = Beans
