The Easiest Chili Ever
Serves: 6
 
Ingredients
  • ½ pound ground beef
  • 1 small green bell pepper, seeded and diced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium, mild taco seasoning (half of a 1 ounce packet)
  • ½ cup tomato sauce (half of an 8 ounce can)
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained (or 2 cups frozen corn)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chili beans, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, cook the beef and optional bell pepper over medium heat until beef is no longer pink; drain.
  2. Stir in taco seasoning, then add remaining ingredients. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, or just until heated through if you’re in a hurry.
Notes
All canned corn is not created equal. I prefer Trader Joe's canned corn, but if you have another brand you like, go with that.

Don't want to waste the other half of that can of tomato sauce? I pour it into a small container and freeze it until the next time I make chili. Or you could just pour the whole can into your pot, if you like chili with lots of tomato flavor.
