Yield Serves 8

Cumin-Cilantro Sour Cream:
1/2 cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
For the chili:
2 pounds 93% lean ground beef
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped red bell peppers
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with mild green chiles
1 (8-ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 bay leaves
Toppings:
1/2 cup grated reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1/3 cup chopped red onion
Crushed tortilla chips (optional)

Steps:

  • For the Cumin-Cilantro Sour Cream:
  • In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, cilantro, and cumin. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the chili:
  • Set a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook, using a wooden spoon to break the meat into pieces as it browns, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain all the liquid from the pan. Add the tomato paste, onion, bell peppers, and garlic, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables have softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker. Add 1 cup water, the black beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, and bay leaves.
  • Cover and cook on high for 5 hours or on low for 8 to 10 hours.
  • Discard the bay leaves. To serve, ladle the chili into 8 serving bowls. Top each with 1 tablespoon of the sour cream mixture, 1 tablespoon of the cheddar, the red onion, and tortilla chips, if desired.

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for lean beef, fresh vegetables, and flavorful spices. - Brown the beef before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry. - Add a variety of vegetables to the chili. This will make it more nutritious and flavorful. - Use a variety of spices to create a complex flavor profile. Chili powder, cumin, and oregano are all classic chili spices, but you can also add other spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, or chipotle powder. - Simmer the chili for at least 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. - Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
