Stovetop Method

First, add ground beef to a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Cook until brown and crumbly, breaking apart with spatula.

Add cooked ground beef, fire roasted diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to pot. Stir to combine.

Bring chili to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Then reduce heat to medium and simmer for at least 20 minutes, up to 3 hours. Stir occasionally. If chili becomes too dry, add in water, chicken broth or more tomato sauce.
