Speedy Chili

Prep time: 1 minute
Cook time: 6 minutes
Yield: 8 servings


1 lb. Cooked Ground beef
1 15.5-oz can low-sodium red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 15.5 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 packet Taco Seasoning (Taco Bell is best)
8-oz can tomato sauce (no salt added)
14.5-oz can Italian diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 Tbs chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin

Optional garnishes:
• 1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
• 1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• Dash hot sauce

1. In a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, combine all the ingredients and cook over high heat 6 minutes, or until heated through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If the chili bubbles too vigorously, reduce heat to medium-high.

2. Serve warm, garnished with sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped onion, or hot sauce, if desired.
