1 pound Ground Beef (96% lean)
1 can (15 ounces) reduced-sodium black beans, rinsed and
drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) unsalted beef broth
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) unsalted diced tomatoes
1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies or sliced jalapeño
peppers
2 tablespoons chili powder
Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings.
Stir in beans, broth, tomatoes, green chilies and chili powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes to develop flavors, stirring occasionally. Garnish with Toppings, as desired.
Omit green onions and cilantro if serving to early eaters (6-7 months). Toppings like avocado and shredded cheddar cheese provide a great opportunity for providing a variety of taste and texture to this dish for early eaters.
