If you’ve been around here, you know that your girl is not a chef. I really love to make healthy meals, but we basically live by the 80/20 rule. We meal prep our breakfasts, lunches & snacks and usually our dinners consist of a meat & veggie. But there are some times when we just want some good old fashioned comfort food & we cook up things like my Easy Peasy Baked Ziti or this chili.
There are a million chili recipes out there, but I love that this one is quick, easy, and can be made at any time with the things I keep stored in my pantry. This is vital in Florida because we probably only have 2-3 cold evenings a month in the winter, so you never know when you will want to whip this up.
Ingredients:
- 1-1.5 lbs of ground beef
- 2 large cans of crushed tomatoes
- 3-4 cans of chili beans
- 1 can green chiles (Rotel)
- Chili powder (to taste)
Directions:
- Brown ground beef thoroughly
- Add crushed tomatoes & green chiles to ground beef
- Add chili beans to pot
- Add chili powder and mix well
- Simmer on medium heat until bubbly and cooked together
- Stir often so bottom doesn’t burn
- Serve over rice or with a side of Frito scoops or crackers. Top with cheese or sour cream if desired
See how easy it is? Ready in under 30 minutes & ready to curl up on the couch with a Hallmark Christmas movie.
This makes about 4-5 servings, so we like to cook it for dinner then heat it back up for lunch. It also freezes so well! Sometimes I double the recipe and freeze in double portions, then I’ll pull it back out and heat it up instead of cooking from scratch on a busy winter evening.
Happy soup season,
