Chili

1 lb. ground beef*
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced (or powder)
2 cans (16 oz.) Bush's chili beans
2 cups water
1 tsp. chili powder (or to taste)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper or hot pepper sauce
(I chop a jalapeno pepper)

In large non-stick skillet, cook beef until lightly browned. Add onion, garlic and jalapeno (if desired), saute. Drain excess fat. Mix in remaining ingredients.

Simmer 30-45 minutes.

*I use ground turkey, tastes really good. You can also add diced celery, corn or any other veggie you kids tolerate in chili.
