THE EASIEST CHILI RECIPE EVER



The Easiest Chili Recipe Ever image

The convenience of this easy chili recipe can't be beaten.

Provided by Mary Younkin

Categories     Main Course

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Optional: 2 lbs meat of your choice (cooked)
(2) 14 ounce cans ranch style pinto beans, do not drain
(1) 14 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
(1) 14 ounce can white beans, do not drain
(1) 14 ounce can tomato sauce
(1) 14 ounce can diced tomatoes
(1) 14 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes with green chile
(1) 7 ounce can chopped green chile
(1) 14 ounce can yellow corn, drained
2 tablespoons Mexican spice mix (or taco seasoning)
Toppings: shredded cheese (sour cream, green onions, corn chips)

Steps:

  • STOVE-TOP DIRECTIONS: Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium low heat, cover with lid and simmer, stirring occasionally for 2-10 hours. (Yes, you can simply bring the chili to a boil, simmer 15 minutes and then serve it. However, if you have the chance to cook it longer, I highly recommend it. The flavors will change into something even better if you allow them to simmer together for a while.) Serve with the toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
  • CROCK-POT DIRECTIONS: Combine all ingredients in a large crock-pot. Cook on LOW for 8-12 hours. Serve with the toppings of your choice. Enjoy!

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds ground beef
2 cloves garlic, chopped
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup masa harina
One 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
One 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
Shredded Cheddar, for serving
Chopped onions, for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the ground beef in a large pot and throw in the garlic. Cook over medium heat until browned. Drain off the excess fat, and then pour in the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and cayenne. Stir together well, cover, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If the mixture becomes overly dry, add 1/2 cup water at a time as needed.
  • After an hour, place the masa harina in a small bowl. Add 1/2 cup water and stir together with a fork. Dump the masa mixture into the chili. Stir together well, and then taste and adjust the seasonings. Add more masa paste and/or water to get the chili to your preferred consistency, or to add more corn flavor. Add the beans and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with shredded Cheddar, chopped onions, tortilla chips and lime wedges.
