Chili is one of my favorite meals to make because it has so many uses – make a big batch and eat it as a meal then freeze the leftovers for chili dogs, fritos pies and other easy weekday meals. Plus the spices always fill the house with a warming scent.

This particular recipe is super easy, leaving me more time to enjoy the evening and not in the kitchen. I’m always an ”awesome mom” when I make this meal for my kids. They love yummy, warm chili, especially when it’s homemade and not from a can!

 

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
4 (15oz) cans chili beans*
1 (64 oz) V8 juice
1 pkt McCormick Chili Mix

1 TBSP chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
