Equipment
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 dutch oven
Ingredients
  
  • 1 lb of ground beef or cubed beef
  • 1 cup pinto beans spicy or regular, depending on your preference
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon oil for cooking
  • Chili spice ingredients: cumin salt, pepper, and other spices of your choice
  • toppings such as cheese, sour cream, and green onions Optional
Instructions
 
  • Start by preparing your chili spice mix.
    Combine the cumin, salt, pepper, and other spices in a small bowl.
    Set this aside for later use.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a Dutch oven or a large pot over medium-high heat.
    Add the ground or cubed beef to the pot, ensuring it is nicely coated in the oil.
    Brown the meat for about 6-7 minutes, until all sides are seared.
    Once done, remove the meat from the pot and set it aside.
  • If you're using canned pinto beans, drain and rinse them.
    If you're using dried pinto beans, make sure they have been soaked and drained according to the package instructions.
  • In the same Dutch oven or pot, combine your chili spice mix, browned meat, beans, and 2 cups of beef broth.
    Ensure all ingredients are well mixed before proceeding.
  • Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
    Allow it to cook for at least 30 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking.
    If you prefer a thicker chili, you can let it cook for longer.
    Remember that the flavors deepen and meld together as the chili simmers, so be patient for the best results.
  • Once your chili has reached your desired consistency and the flavors have melded together, serve it hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions.
    You can also use your homemade Chilis Chili in various dishes like Chili Mac or over corn chips for Chili Pie.
