This week will start our first installation of Meal Prep Monday! Each week we will be bringing you a delicious meal idea that we have made. We will incorporate breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas. This week brings us a hearty, veggie filled beef and vegetable chili.
This meal is very flexible with what veggies and meat you put in it. Feel free to substitute ground turkey, ground chicken, or chickpeas and kidney beans for the ground beef.
This meal is great on its own, or you can serve it with whole wheat pasta, cornbread or tortillas!
