Greek Lamb and White Bean Chili

SERVES: 10

COOK TIME: 8 Hr 20 Min

In this Mediterranean twist on traditional chili, lamb and cannellini beans replace ground beef and kidney beans, then Cheddar cheese and sour cream give way to feta and yogurt. We give this version 2 thumbs up!

What You'll Need

1 pound ground lamb
1 cup chopped red onion
3 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
2 (14-1/2-ounce) cans diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil, undrained
1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped
1 3/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons salt-free Greek seasoning
1 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese

What to Do

In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook lamb and onion, stirring until the lamb crumbles and is no longer pink; drain. Place lamb mixture in a 5- or 5-1/2-quart slow cooker.
Process 1 can of beans in a food processor until smooth; add to slow cooker. Stir in remaining beans, tomatoes, roasted peppers, beef broth, wine, parsley, chili powder, and Greek seasoning.
Cover and cook on LOW setting 8 hours. Top with feta cheese just before serving.

Notes

For a nice added touch, serve with plain yogurt and pita bread wedges.

Greek seasoning can be found in the grocery aisle where all the other seasonings are. There are several brands (Cavender's, McCormick, Konriko). I've also found it at Walmart.
