This chili packs as much protein as it does flavor thanks to the beef, beans, and combination of spices. And if you're looking to heat things up a bit, feel free to add a dash or two of cayenne pepper.

Ingredients 

Oil spray

1 1/4 lb extra-lean ground beef

2 cans black beans

1 sweet onion, chopped

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne (depending on your spice preference)

1 Tbsp unsweetened dark cocoa powder

1 cup light low-sodium broth

2 orange bell peppers, sliced

How to make it 

Heat a large pot to medium high, and lightly mist with oil.

Add onion and sauté until it starts to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Add meat, and cook until browned and heated through.

Meanwhile, puree 1 can of beans, and then add both cans to the pot.

Add spices, cocoa, and broth. Stir to combine.

Cover with lid. Bring to boil, and reduce to simmer for 1 hour.

Place sliced peppers on a foil-lined sheet pan, and broil on low for 5-10 minutes or until softened and lightly charred.

Serve chili in bowls, and top with orange peppers.
