Ingredients

Directions

  1. Brown the lean ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon until fully cooked.
  2. Drain any excess fat from the pot if necessary, then add the minced garlic and saut&# 195;© for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the whole tomatoes to the pot, using a wooden spoon to crush them down into smaller chunks directly in the pan.
  4. Stir in the kidney beans, picante sauce, chili powder, and ground cumin, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional chili powder or salt if desired.
  7. Stir in the sliced green onions just before serving to add a fresh crunch and color.
