1-2 lbs of lean ground beef or half beef (add half ground turkey if you want to make it even lower in fat option (depending on how many servings you need)
1 large white, yellow or sweet onion chopped coarsely
2-3 cloves of garlic minced
1 1/2-2 1/2 tbsp cumin (I like tons so use as much as you like)
2 1/2 (or to taste) chili powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups of water
1 15oz can tomato sauce
1 28 oz can chopped tomatoes (I use the ones with green chili's for a little extra spice)
1 14-16oz can red kidney beans -drained and rinsed
In a large non stick skillet or large pot with a drizzle of olive oil (the meat will give enough oils so don't add too much if fat content is an issue) add beef, onions then garlic a few minutes after the beef gets cooking (not to burn the garlic)
Break up meat but into too small of pieces to keep it chunky. Cook until the meat is browned.
Add cumin and chili powder and stir well but gently not break up the meat too much
Add tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes, beans and water ( I add the water in stages to be sure not have watery chili)
Bring mixture to a boil for a few minutes then lower heat and let simmer about 20-30 minutes stirring occasionally.
Taste and add seasons to taste
Serve with sour cream (or low fat sour cream on top)
