Ingredients
- 7 oz Ground beef
- 3/4 cup Kidney beans
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
- 1 tbsp Chili powder
- 1/2 Onion
- 2 tbsp Cheddar
Steps
- Heat a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, and season with the chili powder and a pinch of salt.
- Brown 6-8 minutes, breaking the beef into crumbles with a spoon, until no pink remains.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes and the kidney beans, drained and rinsed. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce to low and simmer uncovered 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick enough that a spoon leaves a brief trail.
- Taste and adjust the salt and chili powder at the very end, when the flavors have fully melded.
- Ladle into warm bowls and top with the cheddar.
