Mild beef and bean chili

12 months+

A soft, iron-rich chili with no heat and no salt.

Ingredients

Good to know

No added salt (a baby's kidneys can only handle a little), no added sugar before age 2, and no honey before age 1 (it can carry a botulism risk). More on salt, sugar, and honey.

Instructions

  1. Gently cook finely chopped or ground beef with lightly mashed cooked black beans and soft-cooked, peeled, blended tomato.
  2. Season with a tiny bit of cumin, no chili.
  3. Simmer until thick and very soft.
  4. Serve over soft rice, mashed as needed.
