This recipe for Easy Ground Beef Chili<\/strong> is the one my mom made when I was growing up. It came from her butcher, and we love that it only has 7 ingredients! The flavors are bold, and everyone always finishes their bowl. It’s great to make for a party and set out bowls of chili toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick & Easy Chili Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks ago, I was feeling under the weather with a unique mixed bag of misery that is allergies, sinus trouble and toothaches all at once. Even though I hid from everyone, my Mom still picked up in my text messages that I was down and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My parents came over to my house with all the ingredients to make this beef chili. I was overjoyed beyond belief. We plowed through the pot of chili in just a few short days, and I missed it when it was gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to make it again, but I feared it wouldn’t taste as good if I made it. You know how the deliciousness of a dish is heightened by the fact that you didn’t have to make it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I’m happy to report that this ground beef chili is just as good if you have to make it for yourself. Even if you have to do the dishes, it’s still delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have to do the dishes, everything is made in one pot. Plus, there’s only 7 ingredients in this ground beef chili. Onion, fire-roasted green chiles, garlic, crushed tomatoes, chili beans (or kidney beans), chili powder, and ground beef! You can totally make this even if it’s your first time cooking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m using a small Dutch oven to make this recipe. It’s the 3.5 quart Le Creuset pot, and I absolutely love it. This is the exact o<\/span><\/a>ne<\/a><\/span> I use. If you’ve always wanted a Dutch oven , making chili is the best reason to take the plunge! You’ll use it a ton, I promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why my Quick Chili has beans:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m a Texan, so you can trust this recipe for chili. I say that, but this ground beef chili recipe actually has beans in it, which is a huge no-no for Texas. But, as a Texan, I get to decide if my chili has beans or not, and this one definitely does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a hard time definitively calling this ‘the chili recipe’ for my blog, but my Mom reminds me that every Texan has several recipes for chili. I don’t have to put all my eggs in one basket and say ‘this is the only chili I will make from now on.’ That’s too much pressure for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the only chili I will always make from now on when I only have 30 minutes to get it on the table. And, this is the only chili I will make from now on when a chili con carne sauce is needed for enchiladas or hot dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a recipe for ‘all day’ chili that simmers on the stove and uses chuck roast. It’s a whole different type of chili, in my opinion. We have room for more than one chili recipe in our lives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple Chili Recipe for Two<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love that this recipe is a scaled down version of chili, because I don’t need a gallon of chili leftover in my fridge. This ground beef chili recipe makes just enough for 4 bowls, no leftovers! For my family, we eat it for dinner one night and then lunch the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, the real way my family eats it is to make it the night before, and then eat it for dinner the following<\/em> day. Chili tastes even better after it sits overnight in the fridge. When we have leftovers, I suddenly want lunch at 10:30am, hah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chili has one of my favorite pantry staples: fire-roasted green chiles! I love them! And speaking of fire-roasted green chiles, don’t miss my recipes for green chile chicken enchiladas<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, green chile stew<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, or chile and cheese stuffed chicken breast<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
