EASY AND QUICK GROUND BEEF AND SALSA CHILI



Easy and Quick Ground Beef and Salsa Chili image

This meal can be on the table in around an hour, even faster if you have freezer-ready ground beef mix, or you can simmer it for longer. If you do not have any chili seasoning mix use about 2-4 tablespoons chili powder instead, you can substitute 2 cups tomato sauce mixed with 1 cup water in place of tomato juice. This is great served with crostini or crusty buns
