Clean Eating Organic Beef Chilli

I do love a good bowl of chilli, especially now that the days are colder and the evenings are getting darker. It’s nice to cosy up with a warm bowl of nutritious, delicious food before settling down for the night.

Beef is something we eat only occasionally in our house. Whenever we do have it, I like to make sure that I use organic/grass fed beef. Buying a higher quality meat is more expensive so when we do buy it I always try to make the meal stretch to feed us for at least two days. Lentils, beans and extra veggies do a great job at making our meals go further.

This chilli is quick and easy to make. It’s flavour packed and tastes even better the following day. Feel free to up the chilli powder and cayenne pepper if you like it hot. Add some organic soured cream, or natural full fat yoghurt and cheese to cool it down for the kiddos. We serve ours with wholegrain rice or a baked sweet potato.

Finding clean tinned tomatoes is difficult. I get lots of people asking where you can buy them from, so here is the brand I like to use. Mr Organic Chopped Tomatoes, Ingredients: Sun Ripened Chopped Tomatoes and Tomato Juice. And just when you think it doesn’t get better than that, they also use BPA free lined tins too. I purchase these on Ocado and they cost £1.29 per tin but are often on offer so I like to stock up when they are half price. You can also purchase these in bulk from Amazon here.
