How to Make Granny's Fast And Easy Chili

  1. Heat a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 (15-ounce) can chili beans (undrained), 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the pot.
  3. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until heated through and flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce for extra heat, if desired.
  6. Serve hot, topped with your favorite fixings such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, or cilantro.
