I didn’t like chili growing up, it’s funny how many of my favorite dishes now I didn’t like as a kid. But this beef chili is one of my favorites as an adult. I love how EASY it is to make, the great flavor and did I mention easy?
The secret to how easy this dish is? It’s the canned beans and tomatoes. I love cooking with canned food, cause it makes dinner fast, and still healthy (all those nutrients are locked in so you don’t have to worry about your family getting everything they need in a meal)!
These are can’s I always have on hand so I can make this chili recipe anytime. Start to finish this recipe takes just over an hour, using dried beans it would take at least 3. It’s quick enough that when I get a call that a neighbor needs a meal I can throw this together and deliver it in no time at all.
- 1 lbs Ground Beef
- Chopped onion
- Chopped green pepper
- Lrg can Tomato Juice
- 2 Lrg cans crushed tomatoes
- Lrg can tomato sauce
- 2 chili seasoning packets McCormicks is my favorite
- 2 cans kidney beans or 1 Lrg can
- 2 cans pinto beans or 1 Lrg can
- 1 can or each: white and black beans
- In a big pot heat tomato juice, tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes.
- In another pan brown the hamburger with the onion and green pepper
- Add the meat and veggies to the big pot.
- Mix in the chili packets.
- Drain beans and add to pot.
- Simmer for 1 hour
- serve with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and corn chips (I like fritos) and a side of cornbread

Yum!
oh yeah! and so fast and easy too!
This looks really good. I do like chili but don’t have a recipe that I love so I am excited to try this one.
I have quite a few recipes, it’s a favorite at our house! I need to get the other recipes back up (took them down during the re-branding so I could re-release them!)
