Beef Chili Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 15 oz red kidney beans
• 24 oz salsa (jar ANY brand)
• 1 cup tomato juice

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1: For crockpot owners, brown the ground beef and transfer to a slow cooker. Add in the beans along with the salsa and tomato juice. Turn on low for 4-6 hours. If using dried beans that have been soaked per package instructions then increase cooking time to 6-8 hours on low.

2. 2

   Step 2: For stove-top users, brown the ground beef and add in canned drained beans instead of soaked dried beans (cooking time will take much faster with canned beans.) Add in the salsa and tomato juice and simmer 30-45 minutes adding more tomato juice if too thick.

3. 3

   Tip: Canned drained beans will shorten the cooking time for both methods. If using dried beans soak per package instructions prior to using.
