Something I do every now and again when I notice i've got some produce that's about to expire is to make a big batch of chili to clear out the veggie drawer. You can adjust the
portion sizes to match your needs. Makes a great healthy, quick meal and depending on how much you make, it will last you for quite a while.
1.5-2lbs extra lean ground beef (or ground turkey) cooked
1 can black beans (drained & washed)
1 can kidney beans (drained & washed)
1 can corn (drained)
1-2 cans low sodium
tomato sauce (depending on can size)
1 can diced tomatoes (drained)
1 packet Club House chili spices
….here's where you can get creative, I'll just list what I put in my most recent batch, but you can put in whatever produce you like
- 1 small chopped onion
- 2 chopped plum tomatoes
- 1 large green pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Toss all the veggies, sauce, and spice into a pot and heat until it starts bubbling. Add the ground beef and let simmer for 15-20 minutes (you can let it go longer if you want the veggies a little softer).
I haven't bothered to calculate the macronutrient content in this, as it tends to be different each time I make it. You can be as creative as you like with this. Try different spice, different veggie combinations. I started doing this because I got sick of throwing out all this produce that never got eaten. Enjoy!
