An easy recipe for a quick weeknight chili, though I usually make this one a bit thicker and use it for “hot dog chili”, to top hot dogs with chili and cheese 🙂 It works equally well as just a quick chili though, for a quick easy meal.

Recipe Notes
Stacy's Notes: this is an easy weeknight chili if you have a can of chili beans. You can use ground beef or turkey (I have not tried it with ground chicken). I usually use this for my "hot dog" chili, which means we just serve it over hot dogs with lots of shredded cheese. I usually use less water, so the chili is thicker, so it works better for chili dogs.
Enjoy!
