There is nothing more warming and nourishing than a big bowl of Beef Chilli! This is one of my all-time favourite recipes for a few reasons; It’s packed with nutrient-dense ingredients, it’s versatile and it’s all made in one pot so it can be easily made in a big, long-lasting batch!
In terms of versatility, you can try this Beef Chilli topped with avocado or greek yoghurt, or you can add it to a baked potato or serve with some fluffy basmati rice. It’s so damn good no matter what way you decide to serve it.
I normally make a huge batch of this beef chilli to last for a few days in the fridge. Just reheat whenever you need! It will last 3-4 days, feeding you almost for a full work week 🙂
Also can I just add, it only costs 83 cent per serving!!! Crazy cheap, but so rich. 😀

Best ever Beef Chilli
Equipment
- Large saucepan
- knife
- Spatula/large spoon
Ingredients
- 2 kg Beef mince (I use 18% fat mince for more flavour but you can use leaner mince if you like)
- 4 tins tomatoes (each tin should be ~400g)
- 1 red pepper chopped
- 1 yellow pepper chopped
- 1 green pepper chopped
- 100 g ground almonds
- 3 carrots chopped
- 2 sticks of celery chopped
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 2 tbsp chilli powder ( use mild chilli powder if you dont like your food spicy)
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 stock cube ( mixed with 200ml hot water )
Instructions
- Add 2 tbsp olive oil to the large saucepan on high heat and add the beef mince. Keep stirring until all the beef has browned ( about 5 minutes )
- Add the spices ( cumin, paprika, pepper and chilli powder ) to the beef mince and stir for 1 minute
- Add the veggies, stock and tinned tomatoes and stir well
- Bring to a boil on high heat and when it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and add the ground almonds. Stir well
- Leave the chilli on a low heat and cover with a lid for 30 minutes. Check half way and stir to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the saucepan
- After 30 minutes the vegetables should be slightly soft and cooked through. Take the chilli off the heat and serve with whatever you like – rice/baked potato/topped with greek yoghurt or Avocado!
