Super Easy Weeknight Chili

Now that there is a chill in the air, I am ready for some good comfort food.  Unfortunately our schedule is still out of control crazy and I don't have time for a long simmering chile recipe.  This is my very easy week night recipe for chili.  It's not the slow cooking chili that is full of all things good, but it's got the basics and it's quick and easy with a lot of taste. 


Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 16 oz can kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 16 oz can tomato sauce
2 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon minced onion
salt and pepper to taste


Directions:
 Place all the ingredients in a dutch oven and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the meat.  I serve this with shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream.
