This is a modified version of the Pioneer Woman's recipe! Very easy and very flavorful!! You can ALWAYS add more seasonings until it tastes how you want it to taste! Also, I have used whatever beans I had in the cabinet on many occasions! I even used Garbonzo beans and they were SO good in it!
I eat it with cheese, Eric eats it with saltines, and Bro eats it as Frito Chili Pie!
Easy Chili
- 2lbs Ground Beef (I prefer the less fat at least 90%)
- One 14oz can of tomato sauce
- One 10oz can of Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies
- One 14oz can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- One 14oz can of pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup masa harina (corn flour, usually in the hispanic section or bottom row of flower section)
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon ground oregano
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons chili powder (or more to taste)
- 1/2 a cup or so of chopped onion (optional but enhances flavor)
- Onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to taste
In a stock pot, saute butter/margarine, chopped onions, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper until onions are translucent. Add ground beef, oregano, cumin, and chili powder, and cook until browned. Drain off fat if needed.
Add tomato sauce and Ro-Tel. Stir, cover pot, and heat on low. Simmer for about 20-30 minutes.
Add beans, stir, cover, and simmer for another 15-20 minutes.
Mix your masa and warm water in a bowl to make a paste. Add this to the chili and stir to combine. Simmer to make it thick for about 10 minutes.
Taste and add more seasoning if needed! Specifically onion and garlic powder!
Serve however you like!
