Recipe: Quick Chili with Ground Beef

[runpunkrun]

I love this chili because it's super easy, and if you have leftover taco meat it's even easier. It has tons of flavor, but it's not hot, and it comes together in fifteen minutes or less. It's one of those family recipes that evolve to deal with leftovers, so pardon any irregularities.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef, or the leftover taco meat from the fridge
1/2 sweet onion, diced ~ 1/4 cup
2-4 cloves of garlic, minced ~ 1 Tablespoon
2-3 Tablespoons taco seasoning
1 Tablespoon dried oregano
1 Tablespoon ground cumin (optional)
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
1 can tomato sauce (15 ounces)
1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed (15 ounces)
2 cans chili beans—the kind that come in sauce (30 ounces)
beef or chicken broth as needed for thinning
