Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 small Onion, finely minced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Sugar
- Pinch Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 cup Canned pinto beans or kidney beans, rinsed and drained
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and minced onion. Use a potato masher or wooden spoon to break the beef into very fine crumbles as it browns.
- Once the beef is no longer pink, drain excess grease and return to heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Stir in water, ketchup, tomato paste, chili powder, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, sugar, and cayenne if using. Mix until fully combined.
- Add the rinsed beans to the skillet. Stir gently to incorporate them into the chili.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened and saucy.
- Serve hot as a hearty topping over steamed hot dogs.
Notes
Substitute turkey for a leaner version. Adjust heat by adding more cayenne or hot sauce. Great for make-ahead meals and perfect as a topping or dip!
