Homemade Chili

This is a recipe that I got from a cousin's wife. :) It's so easy to make and so good! If you like chili, you should try this recipe! Below is a single recipe, but I doubled it for this pot shown in the picture...


Ingredients:
1 can kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 can diced tomatoes (not drained)
1 16 oz. jar mild Picante sauce (we used medium Pace chunky salsa)
1 lb. cooked ground beef (doubling this, I only used 1 1/2 lbs. instead of 2 lbs.)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chili powder
Onion powder
Directions:
Rinse off kidney beans and black beans. Heat in a pot with tomatoes and sauce (or salsa). Add cooked ground beef, cheddar cheese, and spices. Heat until cheese is melted.

That's about it! So simple and delicious! Instead of adding spices in at the end, we added spices in with the ground beef while we were browning it. Along with the chili powder and onion powder, we used seasoned salt, ground cumin, and minced garlic. You can add whatever spices you like to fit your taste! You can serve the chili alone or with chips and/or sour cream and/or guacamole and/or more shredded cheese on top. However you like to eat it! :)
