Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
  

• 1/2 lb ground beef (or turkey for a leaner option)
  
  

• 1 small onion, diced
  
  

• 1 bell pepper, diced
  
  

• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  
  

• 1 can (14 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  
  

• 1 tablespoon chili powder
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  
  

• Salt and pepper, to taste
  
  

• 4 large eggs
  
  

• 1 tablespoon butter
  
  

• Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  
  

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   
   

2. Add the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
   
   

3. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
   
   

4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens.
   
   

5. While the chili is simmering, heat the butter in a separate pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and scramble them until cooked through.
   
   

6. Serve the scrambled eggs on top of the chili mixture, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
