However, the chili will thicken and be even more delicious if you’re inclined to simmer it through the day on the stove or in the crockpot.

  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, (1) 1-ounce packet worth
  • 30 ounce canned chili or ranch-style beans, (2) 15-ounce cans worth

As much as I love a hearty bowl of chili, if I’m being honest, chili is all about the toppings for me. I topped my bowl with chili cheese corn chips this time, but it’s also delicious with plain corn chips or crushed tortilla chips.

A scoop of sour cream, a sprinkling of cheese, chopped cilantro, green or red onions are all terrific chili toppings as well.

Optional Chili Toppings

  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • sour cream
  • chopped cilantro
  • sliced green onions
  • corn chips or crushed tortilla chips

Quick Dinner Recipes

French Bread Pizza is a fast dinner that my kids really love, as are these skillet recipes for Cheesy Sausage Pasta and Chicken Fajitas.

Classic and well-loved Taco Soup is another dinner that I almost always double, just so that we’ll have plenty left for a second meal.

For a couple of meals that require barely five-minutes prep time, try the Crockpot Sweet and Sour Meatballs or the Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork.
