Quick Homemade Chili Con Carne With Beans

“very easy and very good! Made it ahead of time and put it in a crock pot. I really like this recipe because you can add ingredients to taste! I added some hot chili peppers, cause I like mine mouth burning hot! ;-)Those simple cheese biscuits of Christine’s went very well with this too!!”

“Very quick & easy! A warm & tasty meal, that is not “hot & spicy”.My husband and I really loved this chili.”

“What a great basic recipe!I used the recipe as a jumping-off point and added a few more spices (cumin and cayenne, and increased the chili powder), and used a can of roasted garlic tomato sauce.I also added a bit more onions and regular garlic too.I didn’t add the juice from the beans because my can of sauce was larger than the recipe called for. My hubby really loved this chili, and it took a lot less time than all-day simmering a normal pot of chili.Easy!”

“This was great! I added some chopped fresh tomatoes and 2 hatch roasted green chilis which made it spicier than I thought it would. Served with rice, sour cream, and chili it was great!”

“This was really good…my family liked it a lot.I used a can of kidney beans in chili sauce and reduced the amount of chile powder.I served it with chopped onions, shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream as toppings.Thanks Christine!”

“This was great! I used cannellini beans cause I just don’t like the ol’ kd bean business. I added a can of Rotel in place of one of the tom sauces. Also added a bit of cumin and cayenne, basil and few drops of worcestershire sauce. It was so good, my first chili!! Froze some and look forward to being able to make again! Thanks for sharing!”

“Pretty tasty quick chili. I substituted tempeh for beef, black beans for pinto and diced tomato for tomato sauce so I had to add water so I also added better than bouillon to balance the flavor.I also added a little smoked paprika and sour cream at the end.This is a wonderful base for a week night chili from the pantry and it will be a go to recipe in the future.”

“I made this for my lunches and my boys ate it all. I followed the recipe as written using two teaspoons of chili powder. I don’t like spicy chili but I do think this could have used more chili powder. Very simple and good basic recipe.”

“Great!! It’s quick, easy, and tasty!To make it even quicker I use frozen chopped onions (with 1-2 TBS. frozen chopped green peppers) when browing the hamburger. (We like less meat because we like our chili soupy.) If I want it hotter, I sprinkle on a little cayenne red pepper. Sometimes I add 1 tsp. brown sugar to cut tomato acid.I make this and freeze in individual portions for a quick lunch. Thanks so much for sharing!”

“My husband likes this chili because it isn’t very spicy. . .I like it because it’s so quick and easy. Anytime I’ve tried making a different chili recipe, I’ve always come back to this one.”

“Good for a pretty quick chili.The flavor was there and it was e-z to put together.”

“This was very easy, and everyone liked it! In a family of 9 people it isn’t simple to find one recipe that everyone will eat. This was perfect!”

“This is an excellent recipe!I added 1t of Cumin, 1/2t Cayenne, and a bit of Texas Pete Hot Sauce, just to spice it up a bit.Turned out great!Quick and very easy to make!Thanks for posting it!”

“delicious! i added some peppers to give it more color.it also freezes very well”

“I made this for my family however I made it more of a Chili Stew so my son would eat it I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of one of the tomato sauces, I added a can of rotel then I added cubed potatos, some more seasoning and a bag of mixed vegetables and let it cook until the potatos were done. It came out wonderfully and we had enough leftover for lunch the next day! Thanks For Posting!”

“For one of the tomato sauce cans I got diced tomatos. I hate onions so I never add it to my recipes. Those were my tweeks and it was GREAT and quick! I only let mine simmer for about 25 min. Awesome recipe!”

“Sooo good and so so easy! We loved this! Perfect recipe thanks!”

“My husband has been trying to cook since I have been ill alot lately. He said your directions were easy to follow and the chili turned out great. He said the directions were easy for him to follow. Thanks *~Christine~*Bullwinkle.”
