Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ clove garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• ½ green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, undrained

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and garlic in hot oil until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 2

Stir kidney beans, onion, and bell pepper with the beef mixture. Pour tomato sauce over the beef mixture; season with chili powder and salt. Stir the mixture so the sauce coats everything, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens, about 45 minutes.
