The best beef chili recipe and so easy to make. Made with black beans, tomatoes, and homemade chili seasoning which gives it so much flavor!
Best Beef Chili Recipe
This easy chili recipe is healthy and hearty, with a high fiber content thanks to the beans. This is my go-to beef chili recipe because it's mild enough for the whole family, it's easy to make and leftovers freeze great. My other favorite chili recipes are this Chicken Taco Chili (a fan favorite!) and this White Bean Turkey Chili. And if you prefer chili soup, try this Turkey Taco Chili Soup.
This chili recipe pleases all the palates in my house – not too spicy (although you can kick it up if you wish), loaded with flavor, and ready in less than 30 minutes.
The beer, of course is optional, you can swap it for broth if you prefer. What really makes a chili complete in my opinion are the toppings – a dollop of sour cream, some diced red onions and cilantro are a must for me!
I'm also obsessed with cutting open a small avocado, removing the pit and filling it with chili plus toppings. Folks this is SO good!
If you prefer to make this on the stove, I would simply cook it covered low heat and add 10 minutes. One thing I love about using a pressure cooker for dishes that use lean ground beef, is that it comes out a lot more tender than it would on the stove.
How To Thicken Chili
Adding beans to chili and letting them simmer helps thicken chili naturally without having to add cornstarch or flour. While thickening chili by simmering may not always be an option in a slow cooker or pressure cooker, you can also puree a can of beans before cooking with some of the liquid.
Chili Tips and Swaps:
- Swap the black bean for kidney beans or white beans.
- If you want to spice things up add jalapeno and use more chili powder.
- To freeze, transfer to a freezer safe containers or freezer bags and freeze up to 3 months. To defrost, transfer to the refrigerator to thaw overnight then reheat on the stove or microwave.
- Refrigerate up to 4 days.
How To Make The Best Easy Beef Chili Recipe
This chili recipe was modified from the new Beef. It's What's For Dinner website and I used this recipe with my own blend of chili spices, plus I added some tomato sauce. They have so many great recipes on their site I'm dying to try like this One Pan Roasted Tri-Tip and Brussels Sprouts and this One-Dish Beef Stroganoff just to name a few.
