Reviews
If you want a basic plain chili nothing extraordinary about it this is your recipe
This is a very basic, mild-tasting recipe, and I’m not referring to heat. For all the chili powder, I find it lacking in flavor. I will keep it in the rotation because my husband is happy, but it gets a lower score because I wouldn’t serve it to guests.
Simple straight forward chili. Quick and easy to make. Tasty to eat. What more can you ask for 🙂
I have been making chili my entire life and i wanted to try a new reciope. THIS WAS SOOO GOOD. simply perfect. i now realize, i have always complicated the recipe too much. keeps the flavors basic is key. didnt alter a single thing. threw some cheese and fritos on top of each bowl 🙂
Does the ground beef need to be browned and drained before adding, and what % fat is best?
