Classic Beef and Bean Chili
A thick, deeply spiced ground beef chili with kidney beans and tomatoes, simmered low and slow for game days and cool nights.
- Game-day favorite
- Freezer friendly
- Better the next day
Every family has a chili recipe, and this is the one our test kitchen keeps coming back to. We brown the beef well for flavor, then toast the spices in the fat so they bloom before the tomatoes go in. Two hours of gentle simmering melds everything into a rich, thick bowl, and a splash of cider vinegar at the end wakes it all up. Set out bowls of toppings and let everyone build their own.
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef in large chunks and let it brown undisturbed for 4 minutes before breaking it up.
