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

- 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.
