Ingredients

1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 carrot, shredded
1 cup green pepper, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic or 1 clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (white kidney beans)

2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
12 teaspoon salt
18 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Directions

1

Saute diced onion, diced green pepper and shredded carrot in olive oil until tender but not browned.
2

Approximately when the liquid cooks out of the vegetables.
3

Add garlic and ground beef and cook until ground beef is browned.
4

Note, I did not drain the fat due to all of the vegetables so I highly recommend using extra lean ground beef in this.
5

Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
6

Reduce heat and simmer uncovered.
7

Cook for 30 minutes or until your desired consistency.
8

Note: Adjust chili powder and cayenne to your taste.

Feel free to add green chili, hot sauce or other heat sources to kick it up or reduce seasonings if you feel it is too hot.
