Quick and Easy Chili

This almost shouldn't be considered a recipe, because there's almost no prep work at all, but it's tasty and quick and great served with Jiffy cornbread. It takes only 10-15 minutes to prepare, depending on how long you let it simmer, and that's counting the time it takes to bake the cornbread. It's great for Hamburger Helper type nights when you don't want Hamburger Helper. My girls love it and my husband takes this to work for a filling meal.

Ingredients:

- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small can of tomato sauce
- 1 packet of chili seasonings (found near gravy mixes)
- 2 cans of pre-cooked beans of choice (I use kidney and pinto)
- 1 can of corn
-1 can of sliced olives

Preparation:

Brown ground beef. Add tomato sauce and seasoning packet. Stir in both cans of beans, corn, and olives (all drained of course). Let simmer over low heat while covered to soften the beans and let the flavor soak in.

As for the cornbread, buy a box and read the instructions there. :-P
