Easy No Bean Chili Recipe

This no bean chili recipe is a delectable spicy stew that is sure to be a crowd pleaser and goes great as a side to any dish. While this no bean chili recipe can be made with ground beef, I make it with ground turkey in this recipe since it is a leaner meat. Alternatively, you can grind your own meat to choose a blend of lean meats and fattier meats – up to you. If you do opt to grind your own meat for this no bean chili recipe, the grinding process will make even the most tough cuts of meat delicious and enjoyable for this no bean chili stew recipe.

A benefit of making chili without beans is that you reduce the phosphorus content from the stew, making it a great renal meal choice for patients suffering from a renal condition. Also, since pre-cooked canned beans are often high in sodium, removing the beans will also make this into a low sodium meal recipe!
