Cooking
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Break it up as it cooks until fully browned.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion is soft.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and corn.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Notes

Serve hot topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions. Can be enjoyed over rice or with crusty bread. After cooling, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze for longer storage. Thaw completely before reheating. Can double the recipe for larger crowds.
