Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cooked burgers (3 ounces each), crumbled
• One 15-ounce can tomato sauce (plain, not marinara)
• One 10.5-ounce can pink beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Grated Cheddar, to serve, optional

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a 4-quart pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions and saute until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the meat, sauce, beans, cumin and coriander to the pot. Stir well. Let the chili come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Season with the salt and pepper. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Ladle into deep bowls to serve. Top with cheese, if desired.
