Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 15 ounces tomato sauce

  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained

  • 1 (15 ounce) can chili beans, not drained

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder, or to taste

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef  in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

  2. Stir in kidney beans, chili beans, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil and stir in chili powder. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Editor's Note:

Canned beans and tomato sauce contain varying amounts of salt, and the dish will taste more salty as it continues to simmer. Tasting and adding salt to the chili after it is finished will allow you to add just the right amount.

Try my version of Korean street toast for one of the most memorable sandwich experiences of your life. A slightly sweet, super savory vegetable and egg patty is sandwiched with smoky ham, melty Cheddar, and a ridiculous amount of mayo and ketchup between two slices of crispy, buttered bread. You'll eat almost a whole serving of vegetables and barely even notice!

Swedish Chocolate Balls (Chokladbollar)

They say that these Swedish chocolate balls, known as chokladbollar, are the first thing a Swedish child learns to make, and for good reason; they're easy to do, there's no baking required, and mixing the "dough" together makes for a fun activity. They sure beat snacking on a candy bar during the afternoon slump, as the fats and whole grain keep you satisfied much longer, while the coffee and cocoa provide the perfect pick-me-up.
