Chef's Note

This recipe is designed to save you time later in the week! By browning a double batch of beef and onions today, you'll have a pre-cooked protein base ready to throw straight into your soup on Day 3 without any extra pan-frying.

Ingredients
  • 2 lb ground beef

  • 1 cup frozen diced yellow onions

  • 2 tbsp chili powder

  • 15 oz canned crushed tomatoes

  • 15 oz canned great northern beans

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions
  • 1

    Heat a large, deep skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 lb raw ground beef and 1 cup frozen diced yellow onions.

  • 2

    Pan-fry the beef and onions for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until the beef is fully browned and the onions are translucent. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

  • 3

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer exactly half of the cooked beef and onion mixture (approximately 1 lb of cooked beef) to a clean, airtight container. Let it cool, then seal and store in the refrigerator to use for the Day 3 Soup.

  • 4

    To the remaining beef and onions left in the skillet, add 2 tbsp chili powder, 15 oz canned crushed tomatoes, 15 oz drained canned great northern beans, and 1/2 cup water.

  • 5

    Stir the chili ingredients together well and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until the chili is thick and hot.

  • 6

    Divide the finished chili into two equal portions and serve warm.
