Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 75 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Pounds (lb) beef, ground
• 0.5 Medium onion, minced
• 2.5 Cups tomato sauce
• 1 15 Ounces (oz) light red kidney beans, drained
• 1 15 Ounces (oz) dark red kidney beans, drained
• 1 8 Ounces (oz) fire-roasted salsa
• 0.25 Cups chili seasoning mix
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic salt

Steps

1. In a large nonstick saucepan, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef and minced onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and crumbly and the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease if desired.
2. Stir in the tomato sauce, drained light and dark kidney beans, fire-roasted salsa, chili seasoning mix, ground black pepper, and garlic salt. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce.
5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs, sliced jalapeños, and a side of cornbread or crackers. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors of this comforting chili.
