Hearty Chili Lentil Bowl
A protein-packed, fiber-rich meal featuring chili beans, green lentils, cheddar cheese, and savory beef tri tip.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dennison’s chili beans
- 1 cup cooked green lentils (boiled)
- 1 oz cheddar cheese
- 4 oz beef tri tip
Instructions
- Heat the Beans and Lentils:
In a medium saucepan, combine the chili beans and cooked lentils. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until warmed through (about 5 minutes). - Prepare the Beef:
If your beef tri tip is not cooked, season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or sear in a hot skillet for 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), then let rest and slice thinly. - Assemble the Bowl:
Divide the heated beans and lentils into a serving bowl. Top with sliced beef tri tip. - Add Cheese:
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Let it melt slightly from the heat of the other ingredients. - Serve:
Enjoy hot as a hearty, balanced meal.
