When I make chili, I like to use meatloaf mix, which is a mix of ground beef and pork. Just seems to give it a little extra zing. But using ground beef will work also.  You just need to brown the meat and drain off the excess fat. Then add in the salsa, sauce, and water. 

Sprinkle in the chili seasoning, which will give the chili the delicious flavor.  Yumm!  Stir everything together well.  Let it simmer for about 15 minutes.  And there you have it, a quick and easy dinner recipe for your family!  Sometimes we add a little shredded mozzarella cheese once served in the bowl.

I recently made this chili in bread bowls. Sooo yummy! Check out the recipe!  They really are easy to make and make a perfect dinner for those chilly winter days.
