Think it’s impossible to source a delicious chili from the pantry? I did. Until I tried delicious book club chili at a summer meeting!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon oil
  • 1 onion see note
  • 2 cloves of garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cans chicken or 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 16- ounce can kidney beans
  • 1 16- ounce can pinto beans
  • 1 16- ounce can corn
  • 28 oz can diced tomatoes
  • small can chopped green chilis drained
  • 1 pkg Taco seasoning
  • 8 oz jar Taco Sauce not salsa

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil, then sauté the chopped onion and chopped garlic (if using) until tender. Brown the ground beef, if using, and drain. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Top with shredded cheddar, sour cream, chopped onions if you would like to dress it up. Great with corn bread.

Notes

I'd even trade in the onion for onion powder if I were in a real pinch! You can be very loose with ingredients by adding more beans or more tomatoes or ??? according to taste and pantry ingredients.
