30-Minute Chili - It's a Snap!
I love simple main dish recipes. They are great to serve company, prepare for a church potluck or when you're tired after a hard day at work and don't really feel like cooking. This "dump" chili recipe (open the cans & pour in a pot) is easily prepared in 30 minutes, costs about $1.50 per person and is very nutritious.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef, 93% lean
- 1 15 ounce can black beans, with juice
- 1 15 ounce can chili hot beans, with juice
- 1 15 ounce can kidney beans, with juice
- 1 12 ounce can diced tomatoes & green chiles (mild), with juice
- 1 12 ounce can petite diced tomatoes, with juice
Instructions
- Brown ground beef on medium heat in a large saucepan. Drain if desired.
- Add the rest of the ingredients.
- Stir well and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium low and cover.
- Cook for at least 20 minutes.
- Serve by itself or add toppings as desired (sour cream, diced onions, shredded cheese).

Stretch it further
If I have any leftovers, there's usually not quite enough for another meal. So, I save what I have and add about 1/2 cup elbow macaroni and a cup of water to the pot the next time for "Chili Mac." Cook until the pasta is done (about 10-12 minutes).
