Corn and Black Bean Beef Chili

This recipe for Corn and Black Bean Beef Chili is a snap to pull together with simple pantry ingredients. Use it to fill tortillas and bake as a casserole (see Chili Enchiladas recipe below) or just serve from the pot with wedges of baked tortilla. If you prefer a fiery version, add a teaspoon or so chopped canned chipotle peppers.
1 lb (500 g)Extra Lean/Lean Ground Beef Sirloin or Extra Lean/Lean Ground Beef
1large onion, diced
1large sweet pepper, diced
2 tbsp (30 mL)chili powder
1 tsp (5 mL)ground cumin
1can (28 oz/796 mL) diced tomatoes
1can (14 oz/398 mL) tomato sauce
1can (19 oz/540 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 ½ cup (375 mL)frozen corn kernels
  1. Cook beef, onion, sweet pepper, chili powder and cumin in large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat until meat is thoroughly cooked and any liquid has evaporated.
  2. Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans and corn.
  3. Cook over medium-high heat until boiling. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Chili Enchiladas: Spread 2 cups (500 mL) chili in13 x 9 inch (3 L) baking dish; set aside. Spoon 1/2 cup (125 mL) chili onto centre of each of 8 small flour tortillas. Roll up; place seam side down in baking dish. Spoon remaining chili over enchiladas. Sprinkle with 1 cup (250 mL) shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for 30 minutes. Makes 8 enchiladas.
  • Nutrition Matters: Chili recipes are basically lean if they start with lean ground beef. For heart-healthy improvements, we used lean beef, no-oil frying when cooking the meat and vegetables and increased the veggie content.
  • Bright Idea: If you add some chopped fresh dill near the end of cooking, it plays up the fresh vegetable flavours.
