How to Make Speedy Salsa Beef Chile

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add diced onion and celery to the pot. Saute for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  4. Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes, water, salsa, and corn to the pot.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  7. Stir in rinsed and drained kidney beans. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 5-10 minutes, or until beans are heated through and the chili has thickened slightly.
  9. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
