Chili!

Josh has always told me that the number one way you can tell fall is here is when you can taste it - and by that he meant chili.  :)  This is a go-to meal for us.  It's so quick and easy and tastes really yummy!  Here's what you are going to need to make this feel good meal!

1 med. onion, diced
1 T olive oil
1 lb ground beef - you can use less if you want
1 T minced garlic, or 3/4 T garlic powder
1 can chili beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can petite diced tomatoes - you can use the flavored ones, those are good too (ie. italian, garlic...)
1 pkg chili seasoning

2-3 T Worcestershire sauce

3 T of your favorite BBQ sauce  (the BBQ sauce and Worcestershire sauce add a fab smokey flavor.)

1/2 can of water - about 1 cup

Dice your onion and cook with olive oil until transparent.  I brown my beef at the same time, but if you want to do it separate that is fine too.  Just make sure all your meat is cooked and in small pieces.  While your onions and meat are browning, open all your cans.  (time saver!)  When onions and meat are cooked, add all the rest of your ingredients into the pot and stir.  If it is a little thick, add in some water a little at a time.  Simmer until ready to eat.  Great with fritos and cheese or hot dogs.  Yum!  Literally takes about 20 min.
