How to Make Our Ground Beef Chili Recipe

This easy Ground Beef Chili Recipe is originally from Webicurean. It’s a quick, comforting, and filling meal that’s perfect to serve the entire family.

The recipe is made in one pot. First, the onions, peppers, and garlic are softened with a small amount of beef (or chicken) broth. No need to use oil in this recipe. Then, the ground beef is stirred in and cooked along with the vegetables. The remaining ingredients including the spices, beans, and diced tomatoes are added and simmered on the stove for a short time to allow the flavors to meld and combine together.

Enjoy this hearty ground beef chili with toppings of your choice such as low-fat cheese, cilantro, parsley, Greek yogurt, or a low-fat sour cream!

Easy Ground Beef Chili Recipe Tips

Prepare the ingredients, such as measuring out spices and chopping the veggies, before you start cooking.
Make sure to chop the onion and bell pepper into a relatively similar size and shape so that the vegetables will soften at the same time you cook it. I like to chop the vegetables into a medium chop (about the size of nickel).
For best results we recommend using Certified Angus Beef ® brand lean ground beef to make this a low fat meal.
Change up the spices or make it as mild or hot as you like. I find this chili mild to medium spicy in the heat department (I’m a heat wimp though), making it perfect to serve to my family. Adjust the spice amounts to suit your family’s heat preferences.
Spruce up this simple chili with additional toppings at the end. I like to add shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, tortilla chips, and a generous dollop of Greek yogurt to my chili. Greek yogurt is a great low-fat, high protein substitute for sour cream.
Serve it on top of greens (like spinach) or in a lettuce wrap.
