Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion, chopped into medium fine pieces
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 lbs ground turkey (for a low-fat option)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cans kidney beans, drained
- 2 cans diced tomatoes with jalapenos
- 2 cans tomato soup
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp cumin powder
- 2 tbsp dried cilantro
- Tabasco sauce (optional, for added heat)
Instructions
-
Preparation:
- Start by chopping the onion into medium fine pieces.
-
Cooking:
- Heat the olive oil in a 6-quart pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and the ground meat (beef and/or turkey).
- Cook until the meat is thoroughly done and the onion is soft, using a potato masher to finely chop the ground meat during the cooking process.
-
Adding Ingredients:
- Once the meat is cooked, add the drained kidney beans, diced tomatoes with their liquid, tomato soup, water, chili powder, and minced garlic to the pot.
- If desired, add cumin powder, dried cilantro, and Tabasco sauce for a hotter, spicier taste.
- Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
-
Simmering:
- Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- Let it simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached and the flavors have mingled.
- Stir occasionally during the cooking process to prevent the chili from sticking to the bottom of the pot as it thickens.
-
Adjusting Consistency:
- If the chili becomes too thick, add more water as needed to reach your preferred consistency.
-
Finishing Touches:
- Serve hot and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, or fresh cilantro.
- Enjoy your homemade Hurry Up Chili with a side of salad and cornbread for a complete and satisfying meal!
Tips
- For a low-fat alternative, use ground turkey instead of ground beef.
- Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less chili powder and Tabasco sauce according to your taste preferences.
- If you’re a garlic lover like us, keep a jar of minced garlic in the refrigerator for added convenience and flavor enhancement.
- This chili is perfect for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for several days or frozen for future enjoyment.
