Tasty Tuesday - Easy Chili

This one is easy to make and because it's not spicy my kids will eat it, well, all except for Kylie who just doesn't like it for some reason and only eats the potato.  Also, if you leave out the bullion cubes or substitute Better Than Bullion seasoning it is a GLUTEN FREE meal I can feed to the rest of my family on Sunday nights.

Chili
1 lb ground beef
1 can corn
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 Tblsp onion flakes (or about a quarter of a medium onion)
1/2 Tblsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 beef bullion cubes

     Brown the ground beef, you can do it in the soup pot if you use lean beef, then you don't need to drain it.  Pour in all the canned items, juice and contents straight into the pot.  Add the chili powder, garlic, and bullion.  Bring it all to a boil and then reduce the heat so it simmers for about 25 minutes, stir it occasionaly.  Serve with baked potatoes or corn chips, top with shredded cheese, sour cream, or whatever you like.
     Use reduced sodium versions of as many of the ingredients as you can for a slightly healthier chili.
