Chunky Vegetable and Beef Chili

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 1 Hr

So often we hear people arguing over which chili is the best -- chili recipes with ground beef, just beans, with vegetables... Well, here's a way to compromise that should satisfy everybody, with no compromising taste!

What You'll Need

2 pounds ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (16-ounce) can pinto beans, undrained
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons honey
2 large zucchini, coarsely chopped
2 red bell peppers, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

In a 6-quart soup pot, brown the beef and the onion over medium-high heat 5 to 6 minutes, or until no pink remains in the beef; drain off the excess liquid.
Add the remaining ingredients; mix well, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer an additional 45 to 50 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
