Super Bowl Chili

18 Comments

Only six ingredients for the great and easy chili recipe. We love to make this chili on a Saturday then put it in the fridge overnight to season for Sunday football games.

Recipe makes 5 one cup servings of chili

INGREDIENTS

1 pound lean ground beef

1 cup chopped onion

1 package McCormick® Chili Seasoning Mix, Original or 1 package McCormick® Chili Seasoning Mix 30% Less Sodium

1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained

1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

Dice the onion and saute in oil. To enrich the flavor add some butter to the oil and onions half way thru the saute

The browning of the onions and beef is very important to the flavor of chili. Get a nice brown on the onions before you add the beef. Add the beef to the onions.

When a recipe says brown the beef it really means brown, not grey. Get a brown char on the beef. This will make your chili killer.
Once you have browned the beef drain the excess fat off the beef.

Stir in McCormick Seasoning Mix, kidney beans, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 60 to 80 minutes, stirring occasionally making sure the chili does not burn. The long simmer will bring all the flavors together to create a truly rich chili flavor. Add sour cream, cheddar cheese or salsa for added chili flavors. As I said at the beginning of this article I cook this the day before and put in fridge overnight.
This chili recipe is by far the best in the quick and easy chili recipe category.
