yes, only because it comes in a can.
For when times are better:
1 lb. ground beef (80/20 ok, 93/7 is the leanest i'd go) splash of worchestershire sauce, if desired
brown the beef in large saucepan (big soup pot)
add sliced/quartered onion (red yellow white it don't matter)
brown the onion in the beef fat slop.
Add:
cayenne pepper to taste for heat 4 tablespoons chili powder 5ish tablespoons beef boullion (enough to offset water from canned beans/tomatoes below)
add small can (i forget, maybe 4oz??) tomato sauce to beef and onions, let it heat to a simmer
add can stewed tomatoes (i buy the salted, regular size), let it heat, simmer
add 2x cans dark red kidney beans (regular size cans), let it heat, simmer
remove from heat, let cool several hours.
serve over white rice or with fresh bread and butter
For now, wolfs chili sounds pretty good. you could do much, much MUCH worse.
Try toasting the chili powder first. You can do it in the same pan before you cook the meat, but pull it out before you start the meat & then add in appropriate order of the recipe, really improves the flavor.
That sounds delicious. I've switched to black beans (reduced sodium) in my chili, as I've found them much more flavorful.
