Easy Quick Chili Recipe
One pot recipes such as soups, stews, and chili's are my go to meals when I'm looking for a fast and easy meal to make. You can make any of these meals ahead of time and simply heat them up when you want to eat.
Many times when I worked away from home, Sundays would be my day to cook and prepare meals for the upcoming week. A lot of the time I would and still do today make a double batch and freeze the meal for a later date.
Chili is fast to make and can be on your table within 45 minutes from start to finish. I just recently discovered Mrs. Dash Seasoning Mix for Chili, and I must say that it is very tasty.
Please note that I've used black beans in this recipe but you can use any type you prefer.
Serve with sides of sour cream, grated cheese, tortilla chips, guacamole, or additional chopped onions.
