MFIH: Sloppy Chili

I made 'sloppy chili' for a MFIH meal (My Family Is Hungry) and it was a winner. It's a cross between sloppy joes and chili with beans, it comes together really quick and easy; it also goes by different names like 'no alarm chili' and 'hillbilly chili' but I think 'sloppy chili' is the perfect name!

I looked at a few recipes online and then just sort of winged my version. It's basically doctored Manwich and canned chili and can be changed up to make it however you like (more or less beans, additional seasonings as desired, onions, ground turkey or beef...).  I served it over cooked spaghetti noodles (making it more of a 'Cincinnatti' style chili), topped with cheese and sour cream. Yum. 

For the fam meal I needed more than one recipe to feed all my people - here's the original I followed as a base recipe but I increased to more of everything. Since I used 3 cans of beans I was able to use different kinds (pinto, white, and cannellini beans - I hate red kidney beans and did not use them!). I also added a can of drained chopped diced tomatoes. 

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 (15 oz) can Manwich Original Sloppy Joe Sauce
• 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained 
• 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped 
• 2 t. chili powder, or to taste
• 1/2 t. cumin
• 1/4 t. garlic powder
• salt and pepper to taste

Brown the ground beef with the onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the Manwich, tomato sauce, beans, and spices.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
