- 2 pound ground beef 93% lean
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped finely
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 (16 ounce frozen) red chili (Medium to Hot )
- (you may substitute dry chili powder – start with ½ cup dry chili and 2 tablespoons flour & you will have to increase water) you can adjust heat to you own liking.
- 4 cups water
- 1 can (16 ounces) black beans
- 1 can (16 ounces) white navy beans
- 1 can (16 ounces) pinto bean
- 1 can (16 ounces) dark kidney beans
- Fritos
- Sharp cheddar cheese
- Sour cream
- Chopped Scallions
- In a large soup pot sauté ground beef with onion.
- Cook until meat is cooked medium – slightly pink and the onions are translucent.
- Then add taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder and garlic.
- Mix until all spices are incorporated throughout.
- Add your frozen chili, water and beans let simmer about 30 minutes on medium-low heat with no cover.
- It is dry here in NM so the water evaporates quickly – I like the chili thick and not too runny!
- Serve with Fritos, cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and scallions.
- The chili is also great all my itself!
- Enjoy!
- To make this a KETO friendly recipe- remove beans from recipe and add one pound more ground and not FRITOS! Sorry!
