Start With The Beef: Brown the ground beef over medium heat in a large pot. You know, just until it’s nicely browned and crumbly. Drain the excess fat – you won’t need that!

Onion And Garlic Time: Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook them with the beef until the onion becomes tender and transparent. It’s amazing how these simple ingredients start coming together, right?

Bean Bonanza: Next, stir in the kidney beans. The more, the merrier!

Tomato Tango: Add the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes to the pot. Presently, here’s where the enchanted begins to occur.

Spice Things Up: It’s time for the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. These spices? They’re what give Zippy’s Chili its signature kick.

Simmer Down: Pour in the water and give everything a good stir. Heat the blend to the point of boiling, then, at that point, decrease the intensity to low. Let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes. Ah, the aroma that fills your kitchen is just heavenly!

Taste Test: After 30 minutes, give the chili a taste. Need more salt? More spice? This is your chance to tweak it to perfection.
