Quickie Chili

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 (15.5oz) can  light red kidney beans
• 1 (15.5 oz) can dark red kidney beans
• 1 (15.5 oz) can pinto beans
• 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 cup water
• 1 (1 oz) package chili mix
• 1 small onion
• 1 small green pepper

The ingredients may be altered to your preference to more or less of each.

Brown and crumble ground beef in a large skillet (iron skillet is my preference).  Drain the ground beef then add onions, green peppers and chili mix.  Simmer about 20 minutes stirring often.  Put the remaining ingredients in a large pot and add the ground beef mixture.  Simmer for 30-45 minutes, stir as needed.  Top with shredded cheese at serving if desired.
