Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 1 cup rice according to package directions; set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a large pot, brown the 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1 diced onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the 2 tbsp chili powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Add the 14.5 oz diced tomatoes with their juices and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in the drained 15 oz kidney beans and 1 cup frozen corn. Simmer uncovered until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the chili over the cooked rice, topped with a dollop of sour cream and optional cilantro and jalapeño slices.

  7. Step 7

    Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
