Made this again and added a can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes, a zucchini & a summer squash, and some sliced white mushrooms. This chili is a summer staple for me now, and a real crowd pleaser!
Beef mixture is delicious! I’m less of a fan of the dipping sauce; I found it too heavy on the tahini. I added lots more lemon juice and that seemed to balance the flavors a little better. Next time I’ll try with a tzatziki sauce instead.
Meatballs did not hold together on first attempt, so I just ended up scrambling the meat in the skillet and simmering in the sauce. It was very tasty with rotini.
For the 2nd half of the batch, I added another 1/4c each of breadcrumbs & parmesan and baked the meatballs instead of frying in the skillet. They held up and browned nicely.
