Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (lean or regular)
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies, including juices
- 2 tablespoons chili seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Brown the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned and no pink remains, breaking it into small pieces for even cooking and texture.
- Add the Tomatoes with Chilies: Pour the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies and their juices into the skillet with the browned beef, adding moisture and a mild kick.
- Mix in Chili Seasoning: Sprinkle chili seasoning over the mixture, stirring well to combine. Let simmer gently for 15-20 minutes so the flavors meld and the chili thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
Notes
- Drain excess fat from the browned meat before adding tomatoes to avoid greasy chili.
- Simmer patiently to deepen flavors and allow the sauce to thicken naturally.
- Use fresh or high-quality chili seasoning for the best taste.
- Adjust thickness by simmering uncovered or adding tomato paste if desired.
- Stir every few minutes to prevent sticking and burning.
