Southwestern Meatball Chili

This low carb recipe is super easy and delicious! It's also one of my husband's favorites. I think the only reason it's called "chili" is because it has chili powder in it. It's really just meatball stew.

This dish is quick and easy with simple ingredients:

16 oz fully cooked beef meatballs
16 oz package mixed vegetables, thawed
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tbsp chili powder
3 tbsp tomato paste

Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, combine the meatballs, thawed vegetables, tomatoes, chili powder, and tomato paste. Cooked, covered, over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Ladle chili into bowls and top with things like jalapeno peppers or cilantro.
