Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 cups V8 vegetable juice
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 15-ounce can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.
Step 2
Cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.
Step 3
Once the beef is browned, reduce the heat to medium and stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and deepen their flavor.
Step 4
Add the V8 juice, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and kidney beans. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure the flavors meld together.
Step 6
Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or chili powder based on your preference.
Step 7
Once the chili has thickened slightly and is heated through, remove it from the heat.
Step 8
Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, or tortilla chips. Enjoy!
