This award-winner is deceptively simple! It is my mom's awesome, no-fuss chili recipe. You only have to open up 4 cans, and it all uses one pot! Sometimes, you just have to go with a classic, no-brainer recipe! *Notes: Use lean ground beef, 90-96% so you don't need to drain. I even use 85. Feeling fancy? Customize this recipe to your heart's content, adding a little extra water and/or seasoning as needed!
