This classic chili is quick and flavorful, making it an excellent choice for dinner after a busy day. The traditional chili con carne ("with meat") of tender beef in a spiced tomato stew is hard to beat; this recipe adds hearty beans as well. Unlike other chili recipes, it's made on the stovetop and ready within an hour, so it's perfect for a last-minute chili night.

Besides being ridiculously easy, homemade chili is quite simple to alter or add ingredients to suit your taste. If your family doesn't like onions, leave them out. If you prefer smaller beans, use pinto beans or black beans instead of kidney beans. Likewise, you can also make the chili more flavorful with additional seasonings like chili peppers and garlic.

Chili is a great leftover, so use a big pot and double or triple this recipe to feed a crowd. Chili is especially good with cornbread or cornbread muffins, or you can serve it with tortilla chips for dipping. Cheese, sour cream, green onions, cilantro, and avocado all make nice toppings. Leftover chili can also be used for other dishes like chili dogs, chili mac, nachos, and dips.

"When you're used to chili stewing all day, it's hard to wrap your head around making it in less than an hour. This recipe works surprisingly well though. A no-fuss recipe that's easy to prepare. And the result is a good, basic chili. If you've never cooked chili before, it's a great place to begin." —Colleen Graham

Tips

  • If the chili isn't as thick as you'd like it, simmer for a few minutes longer with the lid removed. Stir often to prevent scorching.
  • If the chili is too thick, add a splash of broth, beer, or water and stir.

Recipe Variations

  • Add green or red bell pepper to the skillet along with the ground beef and onion.
  • For some heat, add a diced jalapeño or up to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
  • Just before the ground beef is browned, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic; sauté for a few more minutes before adding the remaining ingredients. Or, add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the chili along with the chili powder.
  • This chili can also be made using other ground meat like turkey or chicken.
  • Swap the kidney beans for your favorite. Black and pinto beans are both good options. Add an extra can of beans if you like.
  • Make vegetarian chili by swapping the beef for a vegan "meat" product.
  • To make in a slow cooker, brown the beef and onions before adding all of the ingredients to the insert. Cook on low for about 4 hours.
  • To make in a pressure cooker like the Instant Pot, brown the beef and onions and add the ingredients plus 1 cup of broth. Cook at high pressure for 10 minutes and use a natural release. To thicken, simmer uncovered for a few minutes.

How to Freeze

Cooked, cooled chili can be frozen for up to 3 months. Add to a freezer-safe, airtight container and defrost in the fridge before reheating.

Is Chili Powder the Same as Chili Seasoning?

American chili powder is a mixture of Southwestern spices that is commonly used in chili and other spiced dishes. Chili seasoning is a similar mixture but often contains salt and other additives.

Can You Cook Chili Too Long?

While cooking chili low and slow will add to its flavor, it will eventually dry out and the beans will turn to mush. Keep an eye on your chili when cooking it on the stove and add a splash or two of liquid if needed to keep it from drying out.

Should Chili Include Beans?

Adding beans to chili is a matter of personal—and often regional—preference. It's also a topic of great debate. In much of the United States, beans are often found in chili and some people prefer a lot of beans. Texas chili, however, is almost always made without beans. The International Chili Society (ICS) runs some of the biggest chili cookoff competitions and categorizes styles of chili. The rules state that traditional red chili cannot include "beans and non-vegetable fillers" while beans are allowed in homestyle chili.
