Basic Chili Made Easy

1 lb of meat of choice:  organic ground turkey or chicken or grass-fed ground beef

• Brown the meat 
• Drain any grease-ok to rinse the meat in a strainer with hot water to get every speck of unwanted grease, if preferred

Add and saute for 3-4 minutes:

• 1 organic large white or yellow onion chopped
• 1 organic green pepper, chopped
• 1 -2 clove(s) of garlic minced, desirable preference

Add:

• 2-3 T organic chili powder or a "clean" taco seasoning (I love TJ's)
• 1 heaping teaspoon of ground cumin
• Large can (28 ozs or more) of organic chopped tomatoes (no sugar or "junk" added), roasted tomatoes can add a depth to flavor PLUS 1/2 can of filtered water (water doesn't count as an ingredient in my numbers)

Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 - 45 minutes covered.  Uncover and taste.  Add Salt & Pepper to taste (s & p also do not count in my numbers in Lucky 7 meals!).  Continue to simmer uncovered to thicken the soup to your desired consistency.

Serving has tons of options such as: simply a bowl & spoon, chopped red or green onion, cilantro, avocado, cashew sour cream (recipe on my blog), & whatever else your heart desires!

7 and done!  Enjoy!!
