Chili will always be a crowdpleaser at family get togethers and holiday events, but this version is for when there’s just the two of you to feed. It’s low on prep-work but filling, flavorsome and quick to make.

1/4 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (16 ounces) chili beans, undrained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
