This recipe was created out of desperation when everyone was hungry and I only had a few items on hand. Now it's a standby in my kitchen. - Janet Lammers, St. Marys, Ohio

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2/3 cup cubed process cheese (Velveeta)
2 tablespoons salsa
1/8 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

In a large saucepan, cook the beef, onion, peppers and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the remaining ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted (do not boil).

Editor's Note: When cutting hot peppers, disposable gloves are recommended. Avoid touching your face. For a tasty taco salad, serve Cheesy Taco Chili on a bed of lettuce. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and chopped tomatoes; top with sour cream and French or Russian salad dressing.

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
