Brrrr, baby it’s cold outside. Maybe not in Tucson or Southern Calif. but in most of the United States people are shivering and buried in snow.

Nothing warms the tummy as well as the soul than a steaming bowl of chili filled with meat and beans and vegetables.

Here’s one of my favorite quick chili recipes:

1/2 cup chopped onions

3/4 lb. lean ground beef

1 15.25 oz. can corn, drained

1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes

2 cups salsa (you decided the spicy quotient)

1 16 oz. can kidney beans, drained

Brown onions and meat. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes. Makes 4 to 6 servings. Top with tortilla chip strips. Serve with a green salad. If there’s any leftovers, serve over hot dogs. (Make a day in advance to allow the flavors to mingle.)
