Quick Chili

Chili is an art form.  However, you don't always have 5 hours to whip up a batch of the secret family chili.  This recipe is a quick and tasty substitute that makes great use of what you already might have in the house.  I used a can of baked beans, but if you happen to have a can of chili beans it will work just as well.  This recipe gets a nice bit of pep from our Pastamore Fresh Jalapeño Oil.

Ingredients:
1 lb - 85/15 ground beef
1 Tbsp - Pastamore Fresh Jalapeño Oil
1 15 oz can - baked beans
2 - medium potatoes
1/2 cup - water
To taste - salt, oregano, paprika, and cumin

Directions:
1.  Bake potatoes using your preferred method.

2.  Heat a large pot on the stove over medium/medium-high heat.  Once the pan is hot, add the ground beef to the pot.  Cook until the meat is nearly done cooking.  Chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces while the meat is cooking.

3.  Add the beans (including liquid), water, Pastamore Fresh Jalapeño Oil, and potatoes.  Cook until heated throughout and the desired thickness has been reached.  Season to taste with salt, cumin, oregano, and paprika.

4.  Top with shredded cheese and serve.
