The Best Chili Recipe (Award Winning!)

Delicious, but take a few steps to make it less spicy!

This is a really great recipe has good flavor and just hits the spot!

Replaced ground beef with Tri-Tip, added some jalapeño

Amazing. Adjusted seasonings very slightly and threw in a shot glass worth of slurry because we like our chilli thick but this was great!

Soooo good. Use the bacon for sure

Replaced black beans with a can of butter beans. Also added can of corn and a jalapeño. Great recipe!

Delicious! I made it for a crowd and everyone loved it!

-Use 1 pack of bacon -Add 1/4 cup sweet baby rays bbq sauce Or more as needed - use 4 tbsp brown sugar instead of 1

Delicious! I always add way more bacon and garlic!

Honestly didn’t find this recipe “award winning.” Smoked paprika and brown sugar ended up being a really weird, unappetizing combo!

Pretty good. The whole family liked it and snarfed it up.

I used a lb of hot sausage with the hamburger and all regular chili powder. Tasted great.. will be our go to recipe now. Thanks for the recipe!

Low heat 6-8hr Add beans at start vs end

I used guajillo chili powder instead of ancho chili powder for a tad more heat and a little tang. Next time I think I’ll experiment with adding a teaspoon or two of cocoa powder for depth. This was VERY good chili!

Simple, satisfying and repeatable recipe for truely delicious chili! Easy to adjust to your taste. I added a bit more heat but it is unnecessary.

Easily the best chilli I've ever had. I couldn't find ancho chili powder so I doubled the regular chili powder. The second time I made this I added a head of black garlic and it added a depth of flavor that was wonderful.

I made this again, but in a pressure cooker after posting this review. Cook on high for 10 minutes, let it naturally release for 3 mins, then release pressure. It will seem runny, but it will thicken up after a few mins. I've made chili using multiple recipes, and this is easily the best I've ever had. I used accent seasoning instead of salt and didn't have cumin or cayenne, so I used taco seasoning and chili flakes. I also couldn't find ancho chili powder, so I used Mexican chili powder. I will be keeping this in rotation.

Really good! I used no-salt broth and black beans. I think less salt allows the spices to stand out.
