Hot 5 Minute Meal (whole foods only!)

Recipe and video demonstration of how to make a hot, 5 minute dinner with whatever whole foods you have on hand in the refrigerator, freezer and pantry.

Course Main Course
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 4
Author Sarah Pope

Ingredients

  • 1/2- 1 pound ground beef preferably grassfed
  • 1 cup precooked beans
  • 1 large can crushed tomatoes preferably organic
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • sea salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a medium sized pot.

  2. Pour in crushed tomatoes and precooked beans.

  3. When hot and thoroughly mixed, add chili powder, sea salt, and pepper.

  4. Serve with a small salad or carrot and celery sticks.

Recipe Notes

If you are interested in the bread in the picture, this recipe for garlic bread uses plenty of healthy fats and real, crushed garlic cloves. It is one of my family's favorite side dishes.

5 Minute Hot Meal (Demonstration)

The video below demonstrates the written recipe for you visual learners 🙂

Note that I use precooked beans in the dish, but you can just as easily use leftover veggies instead if that is what you have on hand. The point is to get creative and that a healthy dinner does not have to be complicated or time consuming to prepare.

Need some other ideas? Check out this recipe for shrimp fried rice that can be prepared in 10 minutes or this recipe for healthy homemade Chinese food that is ready to eat in about 5-10 minutes.

    I make a menu for each week so that I don't have to do things spur of the moment, but it's nice to have meals that are quick once in a while.
    I have been trying to find a source of dried organic black beans that are safe for my peanut/treenut allergy child. The only brand I can find is Wild Harvest, but they aren't sold in my area. If anyone knows of another brand I'd love to hear about it:)

    Inspiring! It seems that we always have something to eat, even when there's "nothing to eat."
