Place the ground beef to a large pan and cook over medium-high heat until no longer pink.

Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the meat and continue to cook for about 5 minutes until the onions begin to soften and become translucent.

Mix in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chili beans.

Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Stir to mix, then simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serve alone with your favorite toppings or over tater tots or tortilla chips!
