• The texture of the diced tomatoes and the slight firmness of the lettuce make this a hearty, satisfying meal that’s sure to please a crowd.

Key Ingredients

For the best results, use quality ingredients that will make a difference in the flavor. Don’t hesitate to splurge a bit on the good stuff:

Look for the highest-quality ground beef you can find, preferably with a good balance of fat and lean meat. This will ensure that the chili has a rich, meaty flavor. A medium-rare cut will work best, as it will remain tender throughout the cooking process. Brands like (brand name) are great options.

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon paprika

2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes

1 cup water

Directions

Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Once it reaches your desired level of browning, remove it from the heat.

Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded together and the meat is tender.

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, then serve the chili hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro, scallions, or whatever else you like!

Let the chili rest for a few minutes before serving. You can also make it ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze it for later use.

Storage & Reheating

Let the chili cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat the chili over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Enjoy!
