• 1  can kidney beans
• 1  can stewed tomatoes
• 1 ½ cups water, or as needed (Optional)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste

Directions

1. Place ground beef and onion in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until meat is browned and onion is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.

2. Stir in tomato sauce, kidney beans, and stewed tomatoes with juice. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add water. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.

3. Give the chili one final taste, adjust the salt or seasonings if needed, then serve hot with your favorite toppings.
