I've never made chili on the stove top. I've always thrown it in the crockpot, just seems easier that way, don't have to keep checking on it, stirring it etc. Just throw it in, come back later and eat!
So here's what I do:
The Line Up:
1 - 1 1/2 lb ground beef (omit for vegan/vegetarian)
1 large yellow onion sliced
2-3 cloves garlic - minced
2 (29 oz) cans tomato sauce
1 (15 1/2 oz) can dark red kidney beans
1 (15 1/2 oz) can light red kidney beans
1 (1 1/4 oz) package chili seasoning mix
chili powder - optional - to taste
cayenne pepper powder - optional - to taste
red pepper powder - optional - to taste
The Game Plan
Brown the beef in a skillet, garlic while beef is browning (season with chili powder, cayenne pepper powder and red pepper powder if desired).
Add beef mixture to crock pot, add tomato sauce, beans, onions and chili seasoning
Cook on high 4-6 hours
Coach's Post Game Conference
Occasionally, if I have some, I'll use some sausage for a little different flavor (the flavor of sausage you use is up to your taste buds). I've also used ground turkey instead of beef. It still turns out great.
Top with your favorite chili toppings. In our house we eat it with some shredded cheddar and crackers on top with a nice big glass of white milk on the side! MMMMmmm
Final Score
Home runs all the way through the batting order!
