Chili is the king of one-pot meals. Ground beef chili is a hearty and filling dish that is perfect for cold weather.

The result is a rich, thick, and flavorful chili. I added kidney beans, but you can leave them out if you prefer. This recipe yields a slightly spicy chili,🌶 but you can leave out the chili pepper or adjust it to your desired level of spiciness.
