Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ¾ cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons chili powder seasoning
- 4 tablespoons canned diced green chiles from a can
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cup fire roasted diced or crushed tomatoes
- 30 ounces beans drained (I used 1 can each kidney beans and pinto beans)
Toppings:
- chips, sour cream, cheese, green onions, cilantro, jalapenos
Instructions
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and beef to a large pot over medium heat. Saute, breaking up the meat until it has browned and almost cooked through. If there is an excessive amount of grease, you can drain it off.
- Add onions and garlic to beef, cook for another 5 minutes, until the onions have softened.
- Add chili powder, green chiles, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and beans. Stir and bring to a simmer.
- Add 1-2 cups of water (depending on how thin you want it), simmer partially covered for 10-15 minutes.
- Taste and add salt, pepper, or more chili powder according to your taste preferences. Serve hot with desired toppings.
