Oma's No-Bean Chili: My Fav Low-Carb Dinner

Make this no-bean chili and listen to the compliments come pouring in. Not only that, but it's so easy to change up this recipe from a soup to a sauce. 

Without the beans, this is a nice low-carb dinner. Or... add a couple of cans of kidney beans (red or white), or your favorite type. 

Ingredients:

• 1½ pounds lean ground beef
• 1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 cups chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped green pepper
• 1 cup chopped mushrooms
• 1 package (1½ ounces) hot and spicy chili seasoning mix
• 28-ounce can crushed or ground tomatoes
• 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 6-ounce can tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• salt and pepper as needed

Instructions:

1. Brown ground beef in olive oil in a large saucepan.
2. Add remaining ingredients. Stir well and bring to simmer. If needed, add a bit of water (about 1 cup) if the chilli is too thick. Cover and let simmer about 1 to 1½ hours or until veggies are tender, stirring occasionally.
3. Season with extra salt and pepper if needed. Want it spicier? Add about ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes.
