Ingredients
- 2 lbs GROUND BEEF
- 2 cups ONION
- 2 cans KIDNEY BEANS
- 2 cans PINTO BEANS
- 1 can CORN
- 2 cans DICED TOMATOES
- 1 pkg TACO SEASONING
- 1 pkg RANCH DRESSING MIX
- 2 cups WATER
Instructions
Step 1:
- Place the large skillet on the stove. Turn the heat to medium-high now. Add the ground beef and chopped onion.
Step 2:
- Cook the meat until it is brown. Stir it often with your wooden spoon. Break the meat into very small crumbles.
Step 3:
- Drain the grease from the skillet carefully. Move the meat to a large pot. This keeps the chili from being oily.
Step 4:
- Open all of your cans of food. Do not drain the beans or corn. Pour everything into the large pot now.
Step 5:
- Add the taco seasoning to the pot. Pour in the ranch dressing mix too. These spices make the whole dish great.
Step 6:
- Stir in the water or broth slowly. Make sure all ingredients are well mixed. The color should look very rich now.
Step 7:
- Bring the chili to a boil slowly. Turn the heat down to low now. Let it simmer for thirty minutes total.
Step 8:
- Stir the chili every few minutes. This prevents the bottom from burning. The flavors will blend together very perfectly.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce extra grease.
- Do not drain the cans for richer broth.
- Add extra chili powder for more heat.
- Top with cheese for extra creamy flavor.
- Let the chili sit before you serve.
- Use a slow cooker for easy cooking.
- Chop the onions very small for texture.
- Add a pinch of sugar for balance.
- Use beef broth for a deeper taste.
- Keep the heat low during the simmer.
