This is going to be so yummmy…..
My 6-year-old cooked this entire chili recipe.. with only a little help. I am hoping that when he turns 7 he will be serving me breakfast in bed. What is the over / under on that?
Here is our recipe:
1 lb (450 g) ground turkey, chicken, beef, or meat alternative
½ cup (120 g) canned black or pinto beans, rinsed
½ cup (85 g) chopped onion
½ cup (80 g) chopped bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tbsp chili powder
1 14-ounce (400 g) can diced tomatoes
4 medium sweet potatoes
½ cup (55 g) shredded cheese
Cook beef, beans, onion, bell pepper and garlic over medium-high heat in a large skillet. When the meat is browned (about 10 minutes), stir in the chili powder and cook for about 30 seconds. Turn down the heat to medium-low and pour in the tomatoes (including the juice) and simmer for 5 minutes. If the mixture starts to get too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of water.
While the mixture simmers on the stove, wash the sweet potatoes and poke a fork into them to make holes. Microwave sweet potatoes until they’re cooked through, for 15 minutes (if your microwave has an automatic “potato” setting, use that).
When the sweet potatoes are done, slice them open and top with chili and cheese.
ENJOY!!!
