How I Make Quick and Easy Chili


This chili is so easy that it almost seems silly to do a post about it, but easy is good so here it is.

There’s a couple of things that I do ahead of time and keep in the freezer for whenever I might need them.

  • First I cook beans and freeze them. (check my post /http://itsjustaproject.com/no-soak-easy-crockpot-beans/ )
  • Second I brown hamburger.  I usually get a lot at once and brown it with salt, pepper, chopped bell peppers and onions. Then I divide it into small bags and freeze it.  This can be used to speed up lots of different meals.

Now for the chili you need:

Stir this all up together in a pot and bring it to a boil.  Turn down the heat and let it simmer 15 minutes. Or you can put all the frozen ingredients into a crock pot for a couple of hours.

There you have it.  It’s great with chips, fresh bread, pour it over a baked potato, or one of my favorites is to pour it over a scone with cheese and sour cream.
