| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Ground beef |
| 1 | Onion |

| 4 cups | Water |
Instructions:
-
Brown the Meat: In a heavy cooking pot, start by browning the ground beef.

Sauté Aromatics: Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot with the browned beef. Sauté until fragrant and onions are translucent.

Bring to Boil: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a hard, fast boil. This helps to meld the flavors together quickly.

Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the chili simmer gently for 45 minutes. This allows the flavors to develop and the chili to thicken to perfection.

Tips and Tricks:
- For extra flavor, consider adding a can of diced tomatoes or a splash of beef broth.
- Adjust the level of spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili powder to suit your taste buds.
- This chili tastes even better the next day, so feel free to make it ahead of time and reheat when ready to serve.
- Serve with a side of cornbread or warm tortillas for a complete meal.
