This is exactly the chili recipe I have been looking for! I used black beans instead of kidney because that is what i had on hand. Also, added a can of corn and 7 oz (instead of 4oz) can of green chilies. Delicious!!! Thank you for the recipe!
Quick & easy. This chili is delicious!
It was good
Made this or very similar recipes(no cajun seasoning but a bit of cayenne) many times when in a hurry! Real good basic recipe for those in a rush or limited access to fresh food/herbs! I use homegrown and prepared chiles,vegetables and herbs along with dry beans cooked up from scratch most often these days, but recommend this for quick dinner.
delicious and easy to make
This is my go to chili recipe! Not it’s not thin like soup, but it’s too thick. Has a touch of heat, and it’s very easy. I like to add diced tomatoes, and sometimes diced green bell pepper as well. However, I only do half of the beans. I find 2 cans is way too much for our taste. Goes great with cheese and Fritos on top and cornbread on the side!
This is our favorite! Always turns out tasty!
Great recipe. I love ranch style beans but don’t put them in here. Tried them the first time and the flavor of those beans takes over everything else. I use canned kidneys and white beans instead. Serve with cheddar and diced onions on top after cooking. Great and simple!
Very very good! Quick and easy! I did add red bell pepper! That’s the only thing I added, otherwise I followed the recipe exact! I will make this again. Thank you for sharing!
This is my new go to Chili recipe. Not only did I love it but my mother and my roommate both had large helpings and even took some for lunch the next day. I love that there aren’t a load of ingredients but it’s still packed with flavor, and the cooking time is so quick! I substituted 2 cups of water w/ a can of Swanson’s chicken broth, added a can of pinto beans and a can of black beans instead of kidney beans, and I used Italian seasoned ground turkey instead of ground beef. I topped it with cheese once it was in a bowl and every bite was delicious.
Quick, delicious, and easy. Winner, winner, chili dinner!
Yummmmmmm….I think this is the best chili I have ever made, and I make chili A LOT. I usually don’t mess with recipes, since I am not that adventurous a cook, but this time I had to because I was short on time and ingredients. But I feel confident reviewing the recipe since I don’t think my changes altered the outcome that much. I followed the recipe as closely as I could, but I only had an 8 oz can of tomato sauce so it came out a bit thin. I threw in what I had on hand: some Emiril gaaaaarlic tomato sauce and an 8 oz can of tomato paste to thicken it up. I didnt have enough red beans at home so I substituted on can of white northern beans for the ranch beans. Also, I browned the meat and then dumped all the ingredients in a slow cooker for 4 hours. I wouldn’t normally do this, since the cook time is so quick, but we had a crazy afternoon and I didn’t want to worry about dinner. I served it over bowtie pasta to give it some “oomph”, and we were happy campers. The kids and I agreed that this will be our new “go-to” recipe. Thanks so much!!
I used black beans instead of ranch style beans as another review suggested and I didnt have a 15oz can of tomato sauce only an 8oz can so I used that and added a 15oz can of diced tomatos un-drained and no added water. My man likes his chili thicker 🙂
Really good and simple. My husband thought it might need a little more spice, but I thought it was just right for the kids. Thanks!
Loved it. I just added a 28oz can of whole peeled tomatoes because I like my chilso chunky, and for spice I used the canned Ortega HOT fire roasted diced green chilis.
I used venison instead since my husband hunts and that’s what we have around. Also didn’t have tomato sauce around but tomato paste so I googled on how to make sauce out of that . So I only had about 12 oz. of sauce and then added about a 1/2 cup water. Added a can of chili ready diced tomatoes because I love tomatoes in my chili. Also used blackened seasoning since I didn’t have cajun, but thought that might be close enough! My husband added about a cup of frozen corn cause he loves corn in his chili! I usually have to put sour cream and cheese in my chili, but now with this recipe!! Delish flavors!!! I ususally make a little more soupier one but since I cut the water down to 1/2 cup it was thick and chucky! I loved it!
i’ve been making this chili for years. So easy and everyone loves it. I do substitute ground turkey to make it more lean.
Quick Chili II Haiku: “Quick to make, and great. (I let mine sit in crockpot) But used the same stuff.” I kept the ingredients the same, but I tossed everything in the slow-cooker b4 leaving for work so that I wouldn’t have to think about dinner when I got home. It’s definitely a mild, no-fuss chili that could benefit from additional seasonings/spices, or diced tomatoes, bell pepper, fresh garlic etc … but as it stands, it was a pretty darn good bowl of chili.
Great chili!!! It was very simple (great for a working mom) and taste great. I will make it again!
Excellent and so easy! Added black beans instead of kidney beans. Will definitely make again. Diane/White Rock, British Columbia/Canada
This really is easy, tasty chili!!! My whole family loved it. I used kidney beans instead of ranch-style as well. I also added a 15oz can of diced tomatoes and, per another reviewer’s advice, a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and a teaspoon of cinnamon. With the additions, this is a fantastic five-star recipe.
