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!
To make my version of Homemade Beef Chili, you will need the following ingredients:
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.
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.
Add the carrot and bell pepper and cook, stirring regularly, until the vegetables become tender.
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.
Lower the heat and allow the chili to boil gently for around 15-20 minutes.
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.
