Beef and Espresso Chili with Cayenne Cream - 16g Carbs, 5g Fiber, 3g Sugar

From: Clean Eating Magazine
We take your traditional slow-cooker chili and turn it on its head with subtle hints of espresso, just enough to tickle (rather than assault) the palate! The cost for a trip to flavor country? Just 230 calories... By Nancy S. Hughes

1 1/2 lb extra-lean ground beef
4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
