I just fry some hamburger meat and mix together with some kidney and pinto beans, a can of tomatoes and a couple of packs of chili seasoning and simmer to your taste. I always make mine in a big pot and use several cans of beans but if you dont have many to feed you might only want to use a couple of cans of beans. Also, sometimes I sautee some onions and greenpeppers and mix in with it.

pound of ground turkey...if that's what you like...I like ground turkey and a little ground sausage...
bottle of salsa...your heat
pkg. of dry chili mix....again your heat
little can of tomato paste
you can add beans if you like and can purchase a can of beans with the chili seasoning already in it.
I always add extra garlic, ***in and of course chili powder as much as you like...I always taste test after adding ingredients
I don't think you can get much simpler and quick than this...good luck and enjoy!!!

I would like a good (easy) chili recipe.Thanks
