Chili With Ravioli

This was printed in our local newspaper today. Sounds like it would be a fast weeknight meal. I am posting it here for safe keeping.

Heat vegetable oil in a wide deep skillet or dutch oven.

Add onion , and cook over medium-high heat for 5 mins until onion is translucent.

Add ground beef and , using a large spoon or fork to break up , cook until the meat is browned.

Add next 5 ingredients , rinsing out each can with a few tablespoons of water and adding the water to the pot.

Cook for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors blend.

Salt to taste.

As the chili simmers , bring a large pot of water to boil and salt the water.

When the water boils , add the frozen ravioli , and when the water returns to a boil , lower heat to simmer.

Cook 4 or 5 mins until ravioli is cooked through.

Place in serving bowls with chili over the top , sprinkled with grated cheese.
