How to Make Just Plain Chili
- Brown 1 lb of ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- In a large saucepan, stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 medium onion (finely chopped - optional, for added flavor), 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. If doubling the recipe, simmer for 40-50 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot over low-carb elbow macaroni or use as a delicious hot dog topping.
