Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans chili beans
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can corn
- 1 packet chili seasoning
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and a large cooking pot with a lid.
- Open all canned ingredients without draining: chili beans, diced tomatoes, and corn. Pour directly into the pot.
- Add the entire packet of chili seasoning to the pot, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Pour in the beef broth, which will help create a rich, flavorful liquid base for the chili.
- Place the pot on the stovetop and turn heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Let simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even heating.
- After simmering, remove from heat and let stand for 3-5 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve hot in bowls, topping each serving with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Optional: Serve with crackers, cornbread, or additional toppings like sour cream or chopped green onions.
Tips
- Use high-quality canned ingredients for the best flavor profile. Look for low-sodium options if you're watching salt intake.
- Don't skip the beef broth - it adds depth and richness to the chili that water simply can't match.
- Stir occasionally during simmering to prevent ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- For extra heat, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes when adding the chili seasoning.
- The optional toppings are where you can get creative - try adding diced avocado, jalapeños, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra excitement.
- This chili freezes beautifully, so don't be afraid to make a double batch for easy future meals.
- Let the chili rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to fully develop and meld together.
