High Protein Peanut Butter Chili
5 steps
Prep:20minCook:6h
If you somehow don't know by now, I am obsessed with peanut butter. This dish is a remix combining my Slow Cooker Chili with Maafe (African Peanut Stew). It has a similar flavor to my Peanut Chili Chicken Skillet, but instead served as a delicious slow cooked stew, ready for you when you get home from work. This simple meal prep yields 6 full meals, each with 50 g of protein from the ground beef, beans, and powdered peanut butter. It's also got healthy fats from the extra virgin olive oil and peanuts, in addition to fiber and complex carbs from the beans, peppers, and onions!
