Beef chili. I don’t want to use a lot of ingredients that most people don’t have in their kitchen. Can you give me a very simple beef chili recipe that has a good taste but without those ingredients that most of us don’t have in our kitchens!??
Thanks!

    Here ya go!

    1.5 lbs ground beef
    1 – 1.75oz packet of chili mix (Old El Paso, Taco Bell, etc.) (more if you want it spicier)
    3 – 15oz cans of tomato sauce
    1 – 15oz can of diced tomatoes
    2 – 30.5oz Bush’s Chili Hot Kidney Beans (or any brand)

    Shredded cheese, onion, sour cream … whatever you like for topping!

    In a pot or deep skillet, brown the ground beef and drain off any fat. Add to this the packet(s) of chili seasoning and mix well. Add tomatoe sauce, diced tomatoes, chili beans, and mix well.

    Let chili simmer on medium-low heat for 1 hour (the longer you let it simmer the better the flavor). You can heat this up with some Tabasco or hot sauce.

    The only 3 ingredients that are not optional –
    Meat
    Chili powder
    A thikener like corn tortilla’s, corn starch or corn chips.

    Simple Recipe.
    2 lbs Beef – any kind gound or cut up steak or stew meat – or any cut up meat will work.
    1 12 oz Can Beef or chicken broth or onion soup or bullion cube & water.
    1 Onion chopped
    1 tablespoon PAprika
    1 tablespoon Chili powder
    1 teaspoon Cumin
    1 teaspoon Oregano
    1/3 cup or more – Pace picante sauce (or other mild salsa or none)
    2 or 6 tablespoons Steak sauce – any kind.
    3 or 6 tablespoons Ketchup
    1 or 2 tablesoons KItchen Bouquet (OK this one most people don’t have but it’s optional and gives a rich and dark color)
    If you don’t have kitchen bouquet add – 2 teaspoons chocolate syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vinegar.
    Hot sauce to taste.
    Salt & Pepper to taste (if you used bullion or instant soup no extra salt will be needed)

    Cook meat and onions – drain some grease off – if you used a greasy meat.
    Turn fire to low.
    Add spices then sauces and 1 little water – stir.
    Add broth slowly to cover the meat – stir.
    Simmer a while on Med to low – 10-20 minutes til done and it looks like a watery chili. Stir often.
    And add more of the spices from above if you want to.

    Then add 1 or more of the following to thicken it to your desired thickness.
    Corn tortilla’s -2-5 of them torn up into little pieces.
    Masa HArina – couple of tablespoons.
    Corn Chips 3 big handfuls crunched up.
    Corn Starch – couple tablespoons – mix in little bit of cold water first.
    Flour – doesn’t work as good as a corn based thickener but…it would work in a pinch – mix with littel water first.

    Cook another 10-15 minutes with lid & turn off and let sit 10-15 minutes….stir every few minutes.

    Add 1 can of cooked pinto or kidney or black or chili beans – optional

    Then serve on Rice, Cornbread, Pasta or plain – with cheese, corn, onions, sour cream or with nothing else.
