Ingredients

Directions

  3. Drain any excess fat from the pan if necessary.
  4. Stir in the whole tomatoes, breaking them up slightly with a spoon, and add chili powder and ground cumin to taste.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  6. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Add sliced green onions and simmer uncovered for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the chili reaches your desired consistency.
  8. Ladle the hot chili into bowls and serve with optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or hot cooked rice.
