Notes

  • 90% lean ground beef, because it's got lots of flavor but isn’t overly greasy. You could also use ground turkey or ground chicken.
  • I used kidney beans, but you can totally mix things up on the bean front! Pinto beans would work well too.
  • This chili is mild to medium - if you want to spice things up add a few dashes of hot sauce.
  • You can store the chili in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Top with some fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of freshness.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings.
  • If topping with shredded cheese, ideally shred your own, it melts much better than pre shredded.
