Ingredients:  
1 lb. extra lean ground sirloin or turkey
1 medium onion diced or 1 c. frozen diced onion
1 c. pepper strips, fresh or frozen
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes, no added salt

1 15.5 oz. can black beans, low-salt

Directions:
Directions:
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onions and peppers. Cook 3 minutes and turn down the heat to medium. Stir occasionally while continuing to cook. Turn down the heat to medium-low and add the garlic. (Higher temperatures cause the garlic to turn bitter.) Continue to cook about 3 more minutes or until the meat is thoroughly browned.
Add the tomatoes, beans, and seasonings. Mix well, and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes. Then add the frozen veggies. Continue to simmer for 30 to 60 minutes. If the chili starts to get really thick, you could add water or some tomato sauce.

Personal Notes:
To make this a vegetarian dish, eliminate the beef entirely or replace with soy based crumbles. You could even use lean ground turkey instead of the beef. This chili is a wonderful quick meal solution. It is almost impossible to overeat since it is so packed with veggies.
