Ingredients
  

Meat and Beans
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (we recommend 85/15 or 80/20)
  • 15 ounces canned chili beans (or kidney beans)

  2. Carefully soak up excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind.
  3. Stir in chili beans and diced tomatoes, bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
  4. Stir in cinnamon, simmer for 20 minutes, then serve topped with cheese, sour cream, and fresh toppings.
