It's finally time to eat chili again. I made some on Friday and was instantly reminded of why I like this comfort food. I have made chili like this for many years. It's super easy and you can always add more things to it, like chopped onions and green peppers.
Ingredients:
1 to 1.5 lbs. ground beef
2 15.5-oz. cans light red kidney beans, dark red kidney beans, or chili beans (drained)
2 15-oz. cans tomato sauce
2 14.5-oz. cans diced tomatoes (I usually drain them a little.)
2 pkg. chili seasoning or homemade chili seasoning
Cheddar cheese to shred for topping
Directions:
Brown the ground beef in a large pot. Drain any grease. Add beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and seasoning. The longer you can let the chili simmer, the more the flavor will cook into the beef. Scoop into bowls, top with cheese and serve with tortilla chips, bread or corn bread.
This serves our family of 6. I used to use 2 lbs. of ground beef, but have cut back for health and cost reasons. Still just as good, but it does mean we have less leftovers.
