Simply Chili

This Chili is super easy and can be made on the stovetop or in a crockpot.


1-2 white or yellow onions diced
1 T olive oil
1 T fresh garlic diced
2 lbs (ground meat of any kind, or canned beans, or tofu... whatever you like, it all works well, or even a combination)
3 cups chopped tomatoes (fresh, canned, or frozen and use their juice)
Spices to taste (chili powder, cumin, cayenne, oregano, sea salt)
1 bottle of beer (optional)


In a large pot, brown onions in oil. Add in garlic and meat/bean choice. (If using meat, brown in pot.) Then add tomatoes, spices, and the optional beer. Simmer in pot for at least 30 minutes, the longer the better.
