Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground beef and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
2 cups beef broth
Chef's tip
The flavor will be a little lighter - use the same amount.
1 ½ cups elbow macaroni, dry

Instructions

1
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains, about 6–8 minutes. Drain off all but about 1 tablespoon of fat.
2
Add the onion and bell pepper to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
