About Homemade lean beef and bean chili

Homemade Lean Beef and Bean Chili is a hearty, nutrient-packed dish rooted in Tex-Mex cuisine. This chili combines lean ground beef, tender kidney and black beans, juicy tomatoes, and a blend of smoky, warming spices like chili powder, cumin, and paprika. It's a delicious balance of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, making it a satisfying and wholesome meal. The use of lean beef minimizes saturated fat, while the beans contribute plant-based protein, complex carbohydrates, and gut-friendly fiber. Tomatoes provide antioxidants like lycopene, supporting overall health. While naturally low in sugar, the dish can be high in sodium, depending on canned ingredients, but opting for reduced-sodium versions helps keep it heart-healthy. Perfect on its own or topped with fresh herbs, avocado, or a dollop of Greek yogurt, it's a flavorful, nutrient-dense option for busy weeknights or meal prep.
