Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet McCormick chili seasoning
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (15 oz) beans
  • 1 cup water can be substituted with broth for added flavor

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Brown the ground beef in a pot over medium heat until fully cooked, then drain excess fat.
  • Add the McCormick chili seasoning, tomato sauce, beans, and water to the pot.
  • Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  • Let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld.

Optional Enhancements

  • Toast a teaspoon of the chili seasoning in the fat after browning the meat for a deeper flavor.
  • Swap out water for beef or chicken broth for enriched flavor.
  • Sauté chopped onions and bell peppers with the meat for additional sweetness and texture.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lime juice or a splash of cider vinegar for brightness.

Notes

Resting the chili overnight improves the flavor. For variations, swap ground beef for turkey or chicken, or go vegetarian with a variety of beans.
