Ingredients:

  • Scallions- 2

  • Cumin- 1t
  • Beef Stock Concentrate- 1
  • Crushed Tomatoes- 1 Box
  • Cheddar Cheese- ½ Cup
  • Sour Cream- 2T

Preparation:

  1. Prep: Wash and dry all produce. Thinly slice scallions. Mince garlic. Drain and rinse beans. Core, seed, and dice poblano pepper into ½-inch cubes.
  2. Brown the beef: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium–high heat. Add ground beef. Break up into pieces, and cook until browned, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Cook the veggies: Add poblano peppers, scallions, and garlic to the same pan. Toss until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin. Toss until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Simmer the chili: Add stock concentrate, beans, tomatoes, ground beef, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. TIP: If you have time, simmer longer. The flavor gets better with time!
