As a busy mama of three, I am all about quick/easy recipes! Everyone in my house loves chili (except for the baby of course!). We even eat chili in the warmer months. This is a quick easy recipe that can be thrown together in either a large stovetop pot, or a small crockpot!
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. ground beef or turkey*
1 small white onion, diced
3 (15 oz.) cans diced tomatoes with green chiles
2 (15 oz.) cans beans, drained (black beans, kidney beans, a combo, or whatever you like)
2 Tbsp. chili powder
(optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, cilantro, etc.)
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large pot, cook ground beef or turkey over medium-high heat until browned, stirring frequently. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked beef or turkey to a separate plate and set aside.
2. Add the onion to the stockpot and saute for 4-5 minutes, or until soft.
3. Add remaining ingredients and the cooked beef or turkey to the pot, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Serve immediately, garnished with optional toppings if desired. Or, store in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
