Nothing says comfort like a pot of homemade chili bubbling on the stove. Packed with hearty beans, tender ground beef, and a blend of warm spices, it’s the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table — simple, satisfying, and made with love.

Ingredients
  • 1 lb. Ground beef ~ browned and drained

Instructions
  1. 1

    First, brown the ground beef until almost cooked through. Drain the excess fat.

    Next, add in the chili seasoning packet and stir until well mixed.

  4. 4

    Drain the liquid from the kidney beans, black beans and pinto beans. Empty beans into meat mixture.

    Simmer the chili on medium-low to low heat for 20-25 minutes.

    Top with cheese, sour cream and fritos (or choose your own favorite toppings)! Serve with a side of cornbread. Be sure to check out my recipe! Enjoy!
