1
pound
extra-lean ground beef or lean turkey
(93%)
1½
cups
onions,
chopped
1
package
Lawry’s Chili Mix or McCormick’s
1
(15 oz) can
diced tomatoes,
not drained
2
(15 oz each) cans
beans,
drained, rinsed (1 can kidney and 1 can black beans recommended)
½
cup
water

In a large pot or pan, cook the ground beef or turkey with the chopped onions over medium-high heat until the meat is browned, about 7 minutes. Crumble the meat as it cooks and stir frequently. Drain any excess fat and return the meat to the pan.
Add the chili mix, the undrained diced tomatoes, the drained and rinsed beans, and the water to the browned meat. Stir well to combine, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally so nothing sticks.
This chili freezes and reheats well. Cool completely before freezing in portions for quick meals later.
