Introduction

This is called Cheater Chili at our house because it is so easy. Everyone always raves about it though.
I add the garlic and onion to taste. You can add 2 lbs. ground beef or ground turkey to this recipe. If you rinse the beans before adding, you reduce sodium and gas production.

    Incredible!
    Reminds me of the five can chili that I learned to make at a restaurant: One can of each; tomatoes, mushrooms, corn, beans, tomato soup - all added to a pound of ground beef. Make it with taco seasoning or chili powder. Using up salsa in chili is a great idea - keep it from going bad/ moldy. :) - 9/21/13

    Incredible!
    I added ground red pepper and some liquid jalepino sauce for some extra kick. Also threw in TVP (texturized vegetable protein) and some lentils. - 12/9/08

    Good
    I've never made chili and wasn't sure if my family would like it. Although I won't make chili often, it is a recipe that I will hold on to for when I do. - 11/11/08
