If you are looking for hearty winter dinner this recipe is for you!
What you’ll need:
Unlike Chicken Chili with Roasted Veggies and my Three Bean Chili, this Hearty Beef Chili recipe has no beans. I like to serve it with lots of condiments and fresh sourdough bread.
Pick up a combination of chuck/stew meat and ground beef for this recipe. I recommend 1/3 to 1/2 pound per person. You’ll need onion, garlic and seasonings. I like to add a little bit of crushed red pepper, cumin, and chili powder for an extra kick. Beef or bone broth adds extra rick flavor and then I add diced tomatoes (fire roasted for added seasonings). Plan a few hours to prepare and cook your chili. The longer the chili simmers the more tender the meat becomes. Allow to simmer for at least 2 or 3 hours. This is an excellent make-ahead meal. Allowing the chili to sit for a day or so enhances the flavor.
Serve with chips or homemade BREAD.
