Ingredients

1 pound ground beef , cooked and drained
1 (15-ounce) can chili beans , undrained
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles , I use Rotel or Hunt's Seasoned Diced Tomatoes in Sauce for Chili
Kosher salt , to taste
Ground black pepper , to taste

Optional toppings: Cheese, Sour cream, Tortilla chips, Cilantro, Green onions

Instructions

Combine ingredients then simmer. In a large pot, mix one pound cooked ground beef, 1 can undrained chili beans, and 1 can diced tomatoes together. Bring to a boil over medium heat and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer about 30 minutes.
Add toppings and serve. Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy with your favorite toppings, such as cheese and sour cream.

Notes

Heat: For a little heat, use medium Rotel. For mild, use plain diced tomatoes or mild Rotel. If you'd like even more heat, add 1 teaspoon chili powder.

Crockpot: You could also combine in a crock pot and cook on low for 3-4 hours.

Taking it up a notch: This is an EASY dump-and-go chili. If you'd like more flavor, try adding a diced onion and minced garlic with chili seasoning. If you'd like a homemade chili, try this chili recipe.

Storage: Leftovers will be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
