How to Make Beef Black Bean Chili

  1. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. While the beef cooks, drain and rinse one can of black beans. Mash these beans roughly with a fork.
  3. Add the mashed black beans, remaining black beans (undrained), salsa, tomato sauce, chili seasoning mix, and water (if using) to the browned beef.
  4. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more chili powder for extra heat, or salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, topped with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese.
