Ingredients

6 servings

1 lb ground beef
2 (14.5-ounce) cans beans, rinsed and drained (I used half kidney beans, half pintos)
2 (14.5-ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chiles (see note below if using Ro*Tel)
1 (14.5-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) taco seasoning, homemade or store-bought
optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green or red onions, diced avocado, or crushed tortilla chips

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, crumbling it with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir in the beans, diced tomatoes with green chiles, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning until combined. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 5 to 15 minutes (however long you have), stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm loaded up with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
