easy chili

This is a super quick no frills chili that we love on a cold winter day. My family and friends have said it reminds them of Steak n Shake chili. I prefer it with ground turkey, but lean ground beef works too. We like to top ours with shredded cheddar cheese, chili cheese Fritos, and sour cream. It is also good with French's Fried Onions. I make this in a pressure cooker because it is fast, but I have made it on the stove top and a slow cooker as well.
