Description

Delicious and healthy baked chili cups made with ground turkey, black beans, and a mix of colorful vegetables, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) canned tomatoes, diced or crushed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • Toppings: avocado, shredded cheese, or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or a light coat of oil.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onions and garlic until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chopped bell peppers, canned tomatoes, black beans, and corn. Simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
  6. Spoon the mixture into muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are golden and firm.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.

Notes

These chili cups are customizable; try different toppings or substitute the turkey for ground beef or lentils for a meatless option.
