This easy ground beef and beans chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please! The ground beef provides a savory and juicy texture, while the beans offer a creamy and filling element. The chili is simmered making for a robust and zesty flavor. Serve this chili with your favorite toppings and sides, such as cheese, onions, and sour cream, for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
Note: You can add jalapenos, tomatoes, or anything extra you wish. I also do not drain the beef, I cook the peppers and onion in the same skillet with the leftover liquid.
