Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds of ground beef with 80% leanness,
  • A finely chopped red bell pepper,
  • A diced medium-sized sweet onion,
  • A frozen mix of yellow and white whole kernel corn in a 16-ounce package,
  • Light red kidney beans in a 15-ounce can,
  • Dark red kidney beans in a 15-ounce can,
  • Pinto beans in a 15-ounce can,
  • Diced tomatoes in a 14.5-ounce can,
  • Diced tomatoes with green chile peppers in a 10-ounce can,
  • 1.5 cups of water,
  • Brown sugar measuring 3/4 cup,
  • Chili seasoning mix in 3 packages of 1.25 ounces each,
  • Distilled white vinegar in 3 tablespoons,
  • Yellow mustard in 3 tablespoons.

Step 1

In a spacious pot, sizzle and crumble ground beef under medium-high flames until it turns golden, taking around 5 to 7 minutes. Toss in the bell pepper and onion, letting them dance in the heat until they soften, approximately 5 minutes. Bid farewell to any excess grease.

Step 2

Introduce sweet corn, kidney beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, water, a sprinkle of brown sugar, a dash of chili seasoning mix, and a dollop of mustard to the pot. Allow this flavorful ensemble to simmer under a lid over medium heat for 20 minutes. Unveil the pot, lower the heat to a gentle simmer, and continue cooking until the beans reach a tender perfection, which should take an additional 20 minutes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Mason jars are not just for jams and jellies! Store leftover beef chili in individual portions in mason jars for a convenient grab-and-go meal.
  2. 2. Freeze leftover beef chili in ice cube trays for easy portioning. Pop a few cubes into a saucepan for a quick and satisfying meal.
