Ultimate Beef Chili

I made a bunch of changes but this is a great basic chili recipe and easy to adapt. I used my IP as a slow cooker on this one. A great way to use up wild game or grass fed beef.

Really enjoyed the unique cumin flavors in the chili. I used Ribeye meat and cooked the onions and peppers in the grease from that. Not the most healthy alteration but it tasted good. I threw in a Habenero pepper too but it was not even mildly spicy. I'll make this again for sure.

Delicious!!!This recipe tastes wonderful! The flavors meshed well together & it didn't turn out too soupy, thick, or spicy. One suggestion, though--to save time, try substituting ground turkey for the beef; you won't regret it!

Left overs are even better! I wanted a meatier chili, so I used the beef round and also ground turkey. I don't care for red kidney beens, so substituted black beans and pinto beans. I also only chopped one good sized yellow onion instead of the three the recipe calls for. This made a lot, and I sent leftovers home with people, and I've been called by all of them to compliment me on how good the chili tasted the next day! And it made awesome chili burritos, chili dogs, and chili omelets! Pros: Easy to make, easy to make substitutions Cons: Cooks a long time

Great recipe! I substituted 1 lb of extra lean ground beef for white beans only because I didn't have them & I had the beef that needed to be used. I also added 1 more tbs of Chipotle pepper & 1 tsp of red pepper flakes because we LOVE spicy chili. Also ended up adding a bit of tomato paste, again due to preference - we prefer our chili thicker.. next time won't add as much water. This recipe was super DELICIOUS! Have much left over & may make one of the cornbread recipes here to accompany our lunch tomorrow! Enjoy!!

Our family just loves chili & this is a definate favourite.Made it the first time with the beef,used some pork when I made it the next time & it was fabulous.It is even better the next day.Browned the meat & all the vegetable & then combined everything in my crock pot,great dish when you want to be out & can come home & dinner is ready.Will be making this again & again.

This chili was hearty and delicious. I like recipes that use meat as just flavoring and not the base, as this one does. I feel ok buying the grass-fed beef at the local co-op for this because it only takes one pound for a very big pot of chili. Highly recommended!

Wow. Yes. Make this. I make some substitutions/variations each time, but this is always my go-to base recipe. I sub ground bison for beef, black beans for kidney beans, bagged diced frozen onion for fresh, and dried cilantro for fresh. I also included the seeds in the jalapenos, a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and cinnamon, which I love with red meat, and sprang for good beer. I also wanted a higher meat-to-bean ratio, so I omitted one can of the beans. Every time we make this my husband and I mean to invite the neighbors over, but we keep conveniently "forgetting".
