Cheesy Chili Skillet 😍 Who’s making this for SuperBowl Sunday??? 🏈 I love this because it’s cozy, crowd-friendly, filling (hi beans & protein), and honestly makes the perfect dip with your favorite tortilla chips

Serves: 5-6
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 40 minutes
Total: ~50 minutes
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb grass-fed ground beef
1 lb organic ground turkey
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chili powder
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 (28-oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup beef or chicken bone broth
1 (15-oz) can pinto beans (or kidney or black beans) drained and rinsed
2 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar or cheddar-jack cheese (I used goat cheddar)
Optional: 2-3 cups fresh spinach
For serving:
Tortilla chips ( 😛)
Plain Greek yogurt
Chopped cilantro + green onions
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat (this is 13-inch). Add ground beef and turkey and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add onion and bell pepper and cook 4–5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add seasonings and stir to coat. Add tomato paste and cook 1 minute.
Pour in crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir in beans. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook uncovered 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick. Stir in spinach, if using.
Preheat broiler to high. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the chili and broil 2-4 minutes, until melted, bubbling, and lightly golden. Rest 2 minutes, then serve straight from the skillet with toppings, tortilla chips and Greek yogurt 😍
