This is never going to win the chili contest in Grant Park, but it's the chili I was brought up on (and that's the only warning you get). Here's how to make it.
Brown about 1/2 pound of ground beef. Pour off the worst of the grease. Add a can of pinto beans, kidney beans, or, in an emergency, black beans. And a can of diced tomatoes. Dump in some chili powder (I just pour some in the palm of my hand but I'm guessing it's about a tablespoon, more or less). Stir it up, simmer it for about half an hour, and you're good to go. Of course, you can cook it as long as you want to. Or not.
This makes plenty to serve two—or one for supper tonight and a good lunch tomorrow. If you want more, make more. Figure it out in Excel.
You may think this is not the healthiest recipe you've ever read, but I've been eating the stuff for something like 70 years now, so I'm thinking it's not likely to kill you right away.
