Ground Pork Chili

Ingredients: 

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 pound ground pork, ground turkey or ground chicken
• 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, black beans or pinto beans, drained and rinsed, or 2 cups cooked beans, drained

• 1 tablespoon chili powder or ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Method:

1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add pork, and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks, about 5-6 minutes. Add onions, and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Stir in the beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, salt and pepper, and bring mixture to a simmer.
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
4. Divide among serving bowls and garnish with parsley, if using.

For additional toppings, add shredded cheese, sour cream or diced avocado.
