    We love one pot meals that we can make and eat a couple times. 

    When we make this Mild Mexican Taco Chili we eat it twice that week and freeze a batch to eat a few weeks later. 

    It us usually just the two of us so this recipe goes a long way.

    That also makes it pretty economical, and that makes the accountant in me very happy.

    I buy the leanest ground beef available, usually 93/7. This is the type we buy for everything. 

    It is pricey.

    You can certainly use ground beef that isn’t this lean, it would need to be drained before adding the other ingredients to the pot. 

    We are fortunate enough that we can afford it, and only buying groceries for two does help with that. 

    When my kids were little we could not afford it so we used 80/20 and I drained it.

    To make this Mild Mexican Taco Chili a little better for us we use some low sodium products.

    And I don’t add any additional salt to the recipe.

    This also depends on what is available at the store the day I do my shopping.

    The day I bought the ingredients to make this batch they had low sodium taco seasoning and no salt added diced tomatoes.

    I would not use all low sodium or no salt added products as I think it needs some salt to make it tasty.

    You can use the ingredients you like best!

    Want to make this Mild Mexican Taco Chili spicier?

    You can use ingredients that are hot, such as the taco seasoning, the diced tomatoes with green chiles, the chili beans, and the green chiles.

    These products are all available in hot.

    You could also add a jalapeno or habanero pepper to kick it up a notch.

    Some ideas for bread to go with this Mild Mexican Taco Chili:

    Corn Oat Muffins

    Jalapeno Pepper Jack Cornbread

    Easy Cheesy Drop Biscuits

    Light Yogurt Drop Biscuits

    We love to have some sort of bread when we have chili, soup, or stew. 

    Sometimes we make cheese quesadillas to go with the this type of dish.

    We just put cheese in between two tortillas and cook it in a nonstick skillet sprayed with a little cooking spray.

    The microwave is also a great way to make a quick quesadilla.
