All-Day Beef Chili

Serve this hearty chili over rice for a simple meal, or do it up Deen style over a bowl of Fritos corn chips with cheese, fresh onions, and sour cream. It sure tastes good with Moist-and-Easy Corn Bread (page 45).

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4 to 8

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 1/2 teaspoons The Lady’s House Seasoning (page 7)

  1. Step 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink. Pour off the drippings and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the house seasoning and 2 tablespoons of the chili powder.

    Transfer the beef mixture to the crockpot. Stir in the kidney beans, tomatoes, onion, garlic, the remaining 1 teaspoon house seasoning, and the remaining 3 tablespoons chili powder.

    Step 3

    Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and a generous sprinkling of grated cheddar cheese.
