Chili

Welcome to the best and simplest chili recipe! This recipe is courtesy of my mother and it always was a fantastic winter meal.

Ingredients

• 1 pound of 80/20 ground beef
• 1 can of pinto beans
• 1 can of kidney beans
• 1 can petite tomatoes
• 1 package of McCormick chili mix
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Ground cumin
• Salt
• Pepper

Optional Ingredients (but who doesn't love extra flavor?)

• Shredded cheese
• Sour cream
• Chopped green onions
• Saltine crackers

Let's Start Cooking!

1. Set your pan to medium heat. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to taste.
2. Once the ground beef is fully cooked, then add the can of pinto beans and kidney beans, but do not drain the beans!
3. Next, add the can of petite tomatoes and the McCormick chili mix.
4. Mix everything together and once the chili starts to boil, reduce the heat to low.
5. Cook on low for 30 minutes and stir occasionally throughout.
