A super delicious Quick and Easy Chili Recipe that your family will love!

As two people who both love to cook – my husband Jack and I each have our own way of doing things, and our own recipes for similar meals!   Last year, we shared Jack’s Chili recipe – a really delicious chili that was based on some cook-off winning chili recipes that Jack has had the pleasure of tasting over the years!  That recipe uses a long list of ingredients (31 to be exact!) to create a rich and complex flavor profile that is really quite fantastic!

But – amazing flavor aside – we’ve received some feedback from our readers that Jack’s chili recipe is just too complex, with too many ingredients for the average home cook!  So…here is another option for you – my recipe for Quick and Easy Chili!

A super delicious Quick and Easy Chili Recipe that your family will love!

This quick and easy chili recipe uses commonly-found ingredients (you might even already have them in your kitchen) to create a classic, hearty and filling beef and bean chili with a gentle heat that adults and kids will both love!  If you like your chili with more heat, you can add more cumin or chili powder at the end of the recipe.  And – as the name of this recipe implies – it’s quick and easy to make and perfect for a game-day party or a hearty family supper!

And – be sure to come back here tomorrow because we will be sharing a recipe for an addictively good Chili Dip that uses this Quick and Easy Chili in the recipe!

    However, what is ground tomatoes? I used peeled whole tomatoes in puree and added just a little water. Hubby commented several times, this is good chili

      Hi Kris – Canned ground tomatoes are simply the same whole tomatoes that were crushed/ground before being canned. You can use the peeled whole tomatoes and break them up yourself.
