1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. 2. Add ground beef and cook 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns, until fully cooked and no pink remains. Drain excess fat if needed. 3. Stir in chili powder and cook 30–60 seconds to toast the spice slightly. 4. Add drained kidney beans. Stir to combine. 5. Pour in pasta sauce and stir well. Use just enough to coat everything generously while keeping the chili thick. 6. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low. 7. Simmer uncovered 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. The chili should hold its shape on a spoon rather than run. 8. Taste and adjust chili powder or salt if needed. 9. Serve hot topped with shredded cheddar cheese. 10. Warm regular buns and gluten-free buns separately and serve on the side.
