Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent. Stir in the chili beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

3

Simmer the Chili

Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Sprinkle Cheese

Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili.
