The 15-Minute Velveeta Dinner That Saved My Mom on School Nights

15 min

Put the ground beef in a large pot, such as a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven. Set it over medium heat and cook the ground beef, breaking it up into clumps, until it’s no longer pink. This’ll take 5 to 8 minutes. Drain off and discard most, but not all, of the fat. Add the beans and canned tomatoes to the pot. Stir and let it come to a simmer.

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cans chili beans
  • 1 (10 to 14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies
  • Diced tomatoes, for serving
