Two favorite comfort foods – mac & cheese and chili – come together in my incredibly easy, 30-minute, nutritious one pot meal! Instead of white pasta and cheese being the base of this recipe, lean ground turkey, beans, tomato sauce, salsa, and veggies are the star, which makes this Chili Mac great for sneaking extra veggies and lean protein into your diet.
This dish is full of chicken, beans, corn, cilantro, and a spicy sauce made from diced tomatoes and green chiles.
This healthy, comforting Minestrone soup is loaded with leafy greens, tomatoes, vegetables, beans, and chicken, and is topped with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese just before serving.
Chili is the answer to so many questions: Planning a game-day bash? Cooking an informal dinner for a large group? Need an easy one-pot weeknight meal?
There are tons of chili variations, but my favorite is a classic chili with meat and beans in a spicy tomato sauce. This one is my go-to chili recipe, made with lean ground turkey (or ground beef), kidney beans, pinto beans, tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, jalapeno, and the perfect blend of spices. I love serving chili buffet-style. Set out some bowls with shredded cheddar cheese, low fat sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, sliced olives, chopped green onions, and corn tortillas, and everyone can load up their chili with their favorite toppings. I love the packages of dried beans with 16 kinds of beans- it's a combination including pinto beans, red beans, pink beans, kidney beans, northern beans, lima beans, white beans, black beans, black eyed peas, chickpeas, split peas, lentils, and pearl barley. That's a lot of beans...and a TON of nutrients. They make a complex, flavorful, and textured soup. Some bean soup mixes are labeled with 15 beans, 13 beans, or any number of beans ranging from 9-16. Grab one of those bags and try this soup recipe!
A meatless, main-dish crockpot soup made of white beans that simmer all day with garlic and onions, tomatoes, zucchini, and carrots. Such simple flavors, but together they make the perfect soup.
This is my go-to black bean soup recipe. It's so flavorful, a bit spicy, and hearty, packed with vegetables, protein, and fiber. In this recipe, I use medium salsa and a small amount of cayenne pepper to add just the right amount of heat for me. If you like a lot of spice, you can use hot salsa and more cayenne pepper, or alternatively, use mild salsa and just a pinch of cayenne for a less spicy soup. My favorite part about slow cooking soup made with dried beans is that it eliminates the extra step of soaking the beans overnight. Just throw everything into the crockpot, puree, and you're done!
This casserole recipe, made with ground meat, beans, and a sweetened tomato sauce, is one that was given to me years ago from a friend, and I have continued to make it over and over, no matter what season it is. It is especially delicious in the cooler months, and I have included stovetop, oven, and crockpot directions to suit whichever cooking method you prefer.
Rice and beans is the ultimate meal or side dish with its low food cost, widespread availability, variety, and high nutrient content. The rice in this recipe gets its bright yellow color from Sazón seasoning, which is made up of a flavorful blend of spices including cumin, garlic, turmeric, and Mexican saffron.
