The ingredients for Quick and Easy Ground Meat Chili are:

1 lb ground meat (I usually use beef, but tonight I used turkey)
1 15 oz can stewed tomatoes
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 15 oz can tomato sauce (can use another stewed tomato)
1 14.5/15 oz can dark red kidney beans (any kidney beans or white beans per your taste works)
3/4-1 cup diced green peppers (from frozen or fresh)
3/4-1 cup chopped onions (from frozen or fresh)
Chili powder to taste
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste (but, probably don't need much if using regular canned items)
I also added Paul Prudhomme's salt free seasoning and some Mrs. Dash Grill seasoning because I was using turkey.

Here is how you make Quick and Easy Ground Meat Chili:

Cook the meat until cooked through without browning. Add peppers and onions if fresh plus all seasonings but chili powder (I sprinkled a little over the meat because it was turkey). Then add the canned items. I don't drain or rinse the beans. Add the frozen peppers and onions if you're using them now. Top pot with a lid and heat thoroughly over low heat/flame.Stir periodically over a low flame so the bottom doesn't burn. if you use two cans of stewed tomatoes, the chili will be thinner. You can thicken it with cornstarch and water if you want. You can use more beans, canned green chilis along with the green peppers, more chili powder, more black pepper, add a little Tabasco, whatever you want to make this yours. It's your taste that matters. This particular combination works for me. I have added green chilis and was pleased. I have also used stewed tomatoes with green chilis. I got a spicier chili than I am used to, but it was good and my mother loved it. It's up to you how it turns out.You can also stretch this recipe if company stops by by cooking rice to serve it over. I did not figure the calculations for the rice into this.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CHATOMBREUX.
