EASY AND QUICK GROUND BEEF AND SALSA CHILI
This meal can be on the table in around an hour, even faster if you have freezer-ready ground beef mix, or you can simmer it for longer. If you do not have any chili seasoning mix use about 2-4 tablespoons chili powder instead, you can substitute 2 cups tomato sauce mixed with 1 cup water in place of tomato juice. This is great served with crostini or crusty buns

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: Use an 80/20 blend of ground beef for the best flavor and texture. If you prefer a leaner chili, you can use a 90/10 blend, but it will be less flavorful.
- Brown the ground beef well: This will help to develop the flavor of the chili and prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Use a variety of salsas: Feel free to experiment with different types of salsa to create a unique flavor profile. For a classic chili flavor, use a mild or medium salsa. If you like things spicy, use a hot or extra-hot salsa.
- Add plenty of beans: Beans are a great way to add protein, fiber, and nutrients to your chili. Black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans are all good choices.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste your chili before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more chili powder, cumin, or salt and pepper.
Conclusion:
This easy and quick ground beef and salsa chili is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual gathering.
