Ingredients
- =
- 5 lbs ground beef
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 3 14.5 oz cans pinto beans, drained
- 2 14.5 oz cans kidney beans, drained
- 5 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes
- 3 Tbsp cumin

- =
Directions
Brown ground beef with the onions in a large pot. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 2 hours, stirring frequently.
Serving suggestions:
Spoon chili over cooked rice
Sprinkle chili with shredded cheddar cheese and serve with tortilla chips
Bake a potato, split it and stuff with chili
Note: This makes a lot of chili. Fortunately, it freezes well. I recommend freezing the leftovers in meal-sized portions. If you defrost in the microwave, defrost in 5 minute increments using medium power (50%), stirring each time you add another 5 minutes. Total defrosting time varies, depending on such factors as individual microwave oven wattages and amount of chili being defrosted.
