7-Ingredient Easy Chili
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small white onion diced
- 2 cans fire roasted diced tomatoes (15 oz)
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 cans red kidney beans (15 oz), drained and rinsed (You can also use a combo of black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, etc)
- Water, as needed (The amount of liquid in fire roasted tomatoes varies by brand. If your brand of fire roasted tomatoes doesn't have much liquid, you may need to add approximately 1/2 -1 cup water to the stockpot as it simmers. You could also use beef broth if you have it on hand)
- (optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, etc.)
Instructions
- In a large stockpot over medium heat, combine the beef and onion and saute until meat is browned and onion is tender.
- Add remaining ingredients to the stockpot, and stir to combine. Bring the liquid to a low boil. Then, reduce the heat (low to medium-low) to gently simmer the chili, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve immediately, garnished with optional toppings if desired. Or, store in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
