Homemade Beef Chili

An all-time favorite of mine, this Homemade Beef Chili dish is absolutely stacked with meat, vegetables, beans and a good kick of chili heat. If you’re in need of a big bowl of warmth and spice, this is the dish for you.

The beef sauce is meaty and thick, loaded with veggies and pulses. I top it off with a hot and spicy, salty and sweet, seasoning. And it only takes half an hour, meaning you can have a really hearty and filling meal ready in less than no time!

So, how to cook Homemade Beef Chili?

Steps to make Homemade Beef Chili

1	Cook the meat	5
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat and add the beef. Cook until browned, using a spoon to break down the chunks of beef. Remove the beef from the pan and put to one side.
2	Cook the onion	1
Heat the remaining oil in the pan, scraping the brown bits from the bottom. Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring regularly, until it becomes soft.
3	Cook the vegetables	3
Add the carrot and bell pepper and cook, stirring regularly, until the vegetables become tender.
4	Add the remaining ingredients	2
Add the garlic to the pan and cook for about a minute, stirring the whole time. Tip the beef back into the pan, along with the tomatoes, beans, broth, and seasoning. Mix well.
5	Cook the chili	20
Lower the heat and allow the chili to boil gently for around 15-20 minutes.
6	Serving Beef Chili
Check the seasoning and add extra chili/salt/pepper if needed. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.

I enjoy my Beef Chili scooped up in a soft tortilla, with a dollop of sour cream, a grating of cheddar cheese and slices of green chili. The spicier the better for me! Why not try with a side of rice or baked potato - let me know your favorite way to serve yours in the comments below.
