Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef. Break it apart using a wooden spoon or spatula, and cook until it’s nicely browned, ensuring to drain off any excess fat.
-
Add Seasonings and Ingredients: Once the ground beef is browned, sprinkle in the package of chili seasonings. Then, pour in 1/2 cup of water to help incorporate the flavors. Next, add the kidney beans, pinto beans, whole kernel corn, and crushed tomatoes into the skillet. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Simmer: Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let the chili simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chili to thicken to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Serve: Once the chili is cooked to perfection, it’s time to add the finishing touches. Set out bowls of sour cream, diced onions, sliced olives, and shredded cheese on the table, allowing everyone to customize their bowl of chili according to their preferences. Ladle the hot chili into bowls and let your guests indulge in this comforting and flavorful dish.
