Chili and Rice

Ground beef does the heavy lifting here, with kidney beans rounding it out. A Hawaiian dinner that takes 75 minutes, start to finish. Each serving lands at 620 calories with 36g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Ground beef
• 2 Kidney beans
• 2 Diced tomatoes
• 1 Onion
• 3 tbsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 6 cups White rice
• 1 cup Cheddar

Steps

1. Brown the beef with the onion, breaking it into a fine crumble.
2. Bloom the chili powder and cumin in the fat 1 minute until brick-red and fragrant.
3. Add beans, tomatoes, and broth; simmer 45 minutes until thick enough to mound on rice.
4. Serve over hot rice with cheddar melted on top; Hawaii's chili is a plate lunch, not a bowl.
5. Chili thickens overnight — it might need a splash of broth when reheated, and tastes better anyway.
