Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or sausage
  • 1 white onion or yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 15 oz diced tomatoes
  • 30 oz chili with beans
  • cheddar cheese shredded, for topping

Instructions

  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the beef (or sausage) over medium heat until no longer pink. Add onion and garlic and cook until veggies are soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  • If there is not enough grease from the meat and mixture is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan while veggies are cooking.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and chili and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ladle into serving bowls and serve immediately! Top with cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • Simmering this chili for more than 20 minutes is definitely doable and may result in an even more flavorful meal.
  • Add chopped red bell peppers to the onion-garlic mixture for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Add a can of drained and rinsed kidney beans or black beans for added flavor.
  • Throw in some garlic powder and/or chili powder for extra yum!
  • Open a can of diced roasted green chilies for amazing flavor!
  • A 15-ounce can of tomato sauce or 8-10 ounces of tomato juice will add a TON of flavor!
