Weeknight Cheesy Beef Skillet Chili {Gluten-Free; Lactose-Free}

September 9, 2016 by Faith 6 Comments

Weeknight Cheesy Beef Skillet Chili is great for those nights when dinner has to be on the table quick!

Weeknight Cheesy Beef Skillet Chili 1

With Labor Day over, kiddos are back to school and the weather is finally cooling off; and also, chili season is here in full force! Chili is one of those staple fall and winter meals in my house that gets made probably once a month or so because it’s so easy to whip up and always goes over well at dinner.

Weeknight Cheesy Beef Skillet Chili 2

I make a lot of different kinds of chili (even one with chocolate and espresso and one with a Spanish flair), but this one is pretty basic (and kid-friendly!) and comes together fast enough to make it doable on a weeknight. You can easily adjust the spice level by adding more or less of the spice mix, and to make serving fun you could set up a toppings bar with things like chopped tomatoes, sliced scallion, sliced avocado, black olives, etc.

Ingredients

This dish is naturally gluten-free, and to keep it lactose-free I melted GO VEGGIE Lactose and Soy Free Cheddar Shreds down into the chili. Each serving of these shreds has 5 grams of protein, 55% less fat and 25% more calcium than regular cheese, and is free of cholesterol, lactose, and gluten.

This meal is hearty and filling in itself, but if you have some extra time and want to whip up something to serve along with it, my Creamed Corn Cornbread Muffins would be perfect!

Weeknight Cheesy Beef Skillet Chili is great for those nights when dinner has to be on the table quick!
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb (455 g) grass-fed ground beef (I use 85-90% lean)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium-large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 large cloves garlic, minced or crushed
  • 1 (14.5 oz/411 g) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes with juices
  • 1 (6 oz/170 g) can tomato paste
  • 1½ cups (355 ml) water or low-sodium beef or vegetable stock
  • 4 teaspoons no-salt-added taco spice blend (see Note)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (15.5 oz/439 g) can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
  • ½ bag GO VEGGIE Lactose and Soy Free Cheddar Shreds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over high heat. Add the beef, onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook (uncovered) until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water or stock, taco spice blend, salt, black pepper, and black beans, and bring up to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer (uncovered) 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Turn the heat down to low, sprinkle the cheddar shreds on top, and cover the skillet. Cook until the shreds are melted, about 3 minutes (do not stir).
  4. Serve with the parsley or cilantro sprinkled on top.
Notes
No-Salt-Added Taco Spice Blend: I use a homemade taco spice blend that includes ancho chili powder, chipotle chili powder, smoked sweet paprika, dried oregano, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. You can use any similar spice blend, or instead substitute 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1½ teaspoons cumin, and 1½ teaspoons dried oregano.

    Glad I showed up to your blog when I did for the bonus taco seasoning recipe. ;) Sounds amazing…

    I love dishes like this – hearty and simple to assemble mid-week. Perfect too as it’s starting to feel like fall…

    This was a great pot of chili, and perfect fall-food. I had it bubbling away within an hour of receiving your newsletter. I especially love that it calls for no-salt-added canned products and very little added salt, as that’s the way I always cook. We really enjoyed this with quesadillas and pumpkin beer. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. I’ll be making it often.

    By the way, your homemade taco spice blend sounds fantastic. May I know the measurements of the spices you use? Store bought taco spice mix without salt is nowhere to be found here.

      Same, I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed this chili, thanks so much for letting me know! :) Sounds like the perfect meal with quesadillas and pumpkin beer.

      I honestly never measure the spices for my homemade taco spice blend, but here are the approximate amounts I use for a small batch: 2 tablespoons ancho chili powder, 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder, 1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon cumin, 2 teaspoons coriander, 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder, 1/2 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or you can use cayenne pepper instead of crushed red pepper flakes (and feel free to adjust any of the amounts to suit your personal preferences). Hope you enjoy the spice mix if you make it!

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣

I developed this recipe last year on a whim one af I developed this recipe last year on a whim one afternoon when I really just wanted a slice of chocolate cake. 🎉🙈 I wasn't going to post the recipe, but it was pretty and one thing led to another and I styled and snapped a few pictures. It really is crazy delicious and it whips up in just 10 minutes in the microwave (and it has just 5g net carbs per serving!). And so here it is, lol.
