In the Lakes Kitchen, we cook from scratch as much as we can . It is more cost effective per serving, and recipes from scratch are also healthier. I like knowing what I am eating, and the quality of ingredients are equally as important. Although our family enjoys eating chili, chili in a can is one of those grocery items that I will buy once in a blue moon. Homemade chili from scratch tastes better. You know what you are eating, and the cost is minimal when comparing it to chili in a can. This makes making chili from scratch completely worth it.
Whenever a recipe calls for canned chili, I make a quick batch of this Ground Beef Chili Con Carne With Beans to substitute in its’ place.
This is a basic chili recipe; however, it is easy to adapt for more flavor. You can top the chili with chips, avocado, or onion as examples. I hope your family enjoys eating this chili as much as we do.
Ground Beef Chili Con Carne With Beans - Like Canned Chili, But Better And From Scratch
An incredibly easy and delicious version of chili that is better than canned chili (taste, ingredients, and cost effectiveness).
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons chili powder
- 3 cups water
- 2 15 ounce cans of beans
Directions
- Step 1 Brown the ground beef.
- Step 2 Add the flour, salt, chili powder, and water to the pan.
- Step 3 Drain and rinse the beans. I used one can of black beans and one can of kidney beans.
- Step 4 Add the beans and let everything simmer for 20-25 minutes.
- Step 5 Garnish with onion, cheese, or any other toppings.
Method:
Brown the ground beef in a pan until it is thoroughly cooked.
Next, add the flour, salt, chili powder, and water.
Mix the ingredients together in the pan, and bring it to a boil.
While the chili is boiling, drain and rinse the beans. I used one can of kidney beans and one can of black beans, but you can use any kind of beans that you want.
Add the beans to the pan after they are drained and rinsed.
Simmer everything over low heat for 20 – 25 minutes. Watch as the chili thickens and water evaporates to make a delicious homemade chili made from scratch.
When the Ground Beef Chili Con Carne With Beans is ready to eat, serve it in bowls. You can garnish it with freshly chopped onion and shredded cheese for even more flavor. Try any other toppings that you like to eat with chili.
