Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb sirloin, cut into cubes
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 onion, diced
1/4 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 chili pepper, diced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package chili seasoning mix (I used Ortega)
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes with juice, crushed
salt and pepper
shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
sour cream (optional)

Steps:

Cook and drain the meat (ground meat and sirloin all in one pan).
Add the package of chili seasoning and half of the tomatoes. Mix well and let simmer.
In a separate sauce pan, heat the oil, then add the onion, bell pepper and the chili pepper. Cook until tender (about 5-6 minutes).
Add the chili powder and cayenne pepper and stir. Then add the remaining tomato and stir again.
Add the meat mixture and the black beans. Stir, heat through and keep on low heat until ready to serve.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with white rice or chips (our favorite chips are the "Food Should Taste Good " Multigrain chips!) and top with shredded cheddar and/or sour cream if you like!
