Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon until it's fully cooked and crumbly. (5-7 minutes)

02

Step

Stir in the kidney beans, chili beans, and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then stir in the chili powder.

03

Step

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded. (about 15 minutes)

04

Step

Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper just before serving.

For a richer flavor, try browning the ground beef with a diced onion and a clove of garlic.
Feel free to experiment with different types of beans, such as black beans or pinto beans.
If you like a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
Serve with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
