@Renata22   why not make up your own? 

 Saute some chopped onions and red/yellow or green peppers with some chopped garlic..  Saute some ground beef (you will need very little) OR Italian sausage out of the casing (hot or sweet).  Then add a can of crushed toms and chli powder, some cayenne and I add a tiny bit of maple syrup.   I also add some Italian seasoning or oregano,  cumin and Kosher salt.

You really can do anything.

Let it cook until the crushed toms thicken up (you can add a little tomato paste to help thicken it, but do that  before you add the crushed toms.....   just add to the meat/sausage once that has browned a little to get the raw taste out).

If you want easy, open a can of Hormel No Bean Chili and warm it up. 🤷‍♀️

On the food network site, Tyler Florence has an easy Chili for hot dogs

called Chili Dogs Recipe

 

That looks pretty easy.

You can make any good chili recipe and just don't put in beans.

This is my mom's recipe. Everyone loved it. It is similar to some of the others.

 

Quick and Easy Chili


Brown 2 lbs. ground beef in heavy pan. Add 1 c. chopped onions and 2 cloves minced garlic and cook until tender. Add 2 (15.5 oz.) cans tomato sauce, salt to taste, 1/2 tsp. pepper, and 2 Tbsp. chili powder. Simmer and stir for 2 minutes. Serve over hot dogs or in a bowl.

Caroll Shelby's Chili Kit. Comes in a little brown bag. All the bag contains are the chili spices. It's much cheaper than buying your spices separately and since each spice comes ina separate packet you can control the hotness of cayenne if you like. Tastes fantastic. Easy as pie. 

 

 

Whatcha Need:

2 lbs. - ground beef
1 - 8 oz - can tomato sauce
2 - 8 oz - cans water
1 package The spices in the Chili Kit.
 

Whatcha Do:

 

BROWN ground beef in large skillet. Drain fat.

ADD tomato sauce, water, spice packet and salt to taste.  To Fix it Mild, omit cayenne pepper packet.  To Fix it Hot, stir in cayenne pepper packet to desired taste.

COVER and simmer for 15 minutes. For thicker chili, mix masa flour with 1/3 cup water.  Stir in and let simmer for 5 more minutes.


SOLD IN MOST GROCERY STORES

 

Ingredients:

 Corn Masa Flour, Chili Pepper, Garlic Powder, Cumin, Oregano, Onion Powder, Paprika, Salt, Cayenne Pepper.

 

BIG MONEY SAVER HERE. IF YOU HAD TO BUY EACH INGREDIENT SEPARATELY YOUD PAY SO MUCH  MORE. All ingredients come in their own little packets. You can easily use half and save the remainder in a zip loc bag.
