    green pepper chili recipe

    Simple.

    Take your basic chili…and add 2 green peppers. Diced, of course!

    (I made this on the Dayton Fox News morning show this week! So if you’ve been looking for the recipe, here it is!)

    Remember those crazy wicked cheap green peppers I scored!?! That’s what inspired the green pepper addition. I think I’ll be adding green peppers to everything from now until Thanksgiving! 😉

    Loved the flavor the green peppers added to this chili.

    Green Pepper Chili

    This Green Pepper Chili is so savory and cozy. Level up your next chili night with by adding some new flavors!
    Prep Time5 minutes
    Cook Time20 minutes
    Servings - 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 3/4 lb ground beef ($1.12)
    • 1/2 red onion diced ($.50)
    • 2 green peppers diced ($.66)
    • 15 oz can diced tomatoes ($.16)
    • 6 oz can tomato paste ($.19)
    • 2 cups cooked black beans ($.40)
    • 2 cups cooked red beans ($.40)
    • 2 garlic cloves crushed ($.10)
    • 1 Tbsp chili powder ($.10)
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Tabasco or hot sauce optional
    • Serve with fresh fruit like 1/2 cantaloupe ($.67)

    Instructions

    • Brown the ground beef. Drain and return to saucepan.
    • Add diced red onion (or yellow, or white), diced green peppers, diced tomatoes (undrained), tomato paste (plus 1-2 cans worth of water), black beans, red beans, garlic cloves, chili powder and salt and pepper to taste. Add some Tabasco or hot sauce if you need a lil kick.
    • Bring to bubbling, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. If you simmer longer, cover it so you don't lose too much moisture. Ladle into bowls and serve warm.
    • Cut cantaloupe into wedges or bite size pieces. I love the sweet, coolness of cantaloupe paired with a thick, hearty chili.
    • Serve Green Pepper Chili with Cantaloupe.

      I have always made chili with green peppers and onions. So did my mother. Earlier this year, I was able to “score” three grocery bags full of peppers from someone through Freecycle. They’re all cut up and in my freezer waiting for the next batch of chili! Good stuff. Gonna try the black beans with the kidneys one of these times. We’ve done Navy beans and kidney, but not black beans. They’re all good.

      Made a great $5 dinner last night. Boiled penne pasta, drained and added basil pesto that I made from my garden, a little olive oil and stirred. Had sauteed spinach on the side, from my garden. I actually think it came out to $1.25 for the meal, but was fast, easy and DH loved it

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
