Easy Chilli

Easy Chilli

1 large can tomato sause or diced tomatoes whichever you prefer
1 can red beans/kidney/chilli with the juice (whichever bean you feel like)
1 large green pepper
1 large onion
1 lb lean ground beef
1 can diced green chillis
1 jalepeno diced finely (if desired)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp Chilli powder (add more if you like)
1 chilli seasoning package


Cook and brown the ground beef with the onion and green pepper until the meat is browned.  Drain off any fat.  Put it a large sauce pan and add the remaining ingredients.  Remeber don't drain off your beans, add the whole can to the pot.  Stir frequently until it is done and thickened.   

I usually cook at least 1/2 to 1 full hour.

Top with cheese, sour cream, diced green onions, avacado and diced fresh tomatoes.  Get as simple or creative as you want.

Same instructions apply if using a crock pot. Just put on low setting and let it cook for several hours.
