Simple and Fast Chili Recipe

By Breanna Hart

Everyone has their own traditions, especially when it comes to holidays. Halloween is no different; some people carve pumpkins, or go over to a family member’s house. My family’s tradition for many years was going up to my grandma’s house and having her chili, then going trick or treating the rest of the night. I grew to absolutely love Halloween and look forward to it each year. Halloween quickly became my favorite holiday and now fall, in general, reminds me of my grandma’s chili. It may be a simple recipe, but it’s a recipe that has brought our family together on Halloween for many years now and I think that’s all that matters.

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, finely diced

1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce

1 (15 ounce) can of kidney beans

1 packet of chili seasoning

1 cup of water

In a medium sized pot, brown hamburger.

Add diced onion and cook until onion is translucent.

Add tomato sauce, kidney beans, water, and chili seasoning. Let simmer for 30 minutes and then serve immediately. (We like ours with Fritos).
