Steps:
- Add the olive oil to a large soup pot and preheat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef to the pot. Allow to cook then start to break it apart to smaller bits.

Tips:
- Use low-sodium ingredients: This includes using low-sodium canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beans. You can also rinse canned beans before using them to remove some of the sodium.
- Add flavor with herbs and spices: Instead of relying on salt for flavor, use a variety of herbs and spices to add depth and complexity to your chili. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, garlic, onion, and paprika.
- Use a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans will give your chili a more interesting texture and flavor. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and white beans.
- Don't overcook the chili: Overcooking the chili will make the beans mushy and the flavors will be less distinct. Simmer the chili for just long enough to heat it through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve with healthy toppings: Serve the chili with healthy toppings like avocado, salsa, sour cream, and cheese. These toppings will add flavor and nutrients to your meal.
