Easy Peasy Chili 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 lb ground beef...fry that all up. Then add one can diced Mexican style tomatoes, 1 can chili beans, and a handful of frozen corn. Heat through. Make one of those little cornbread mixes. Put a serving of cornbread in a bowl, top with chili and sprinkle with grated cheese.
