Chili Recipes No Onions

This classic chili recipe is easy to make on the stovetop or in the Slow Cooker! This savory chili sauce is loaded with juicy ground beef, beans, bell peppers, tomatoes, and the best flavor enhancers.

To put together, and from there it’s left to simmer, reduce, and concentrate. It incorporates simple flavor enhancers that make all the difference.

Worcestershire sauce is one such ingredient. It adds umami and enhances the other flavors in the dish. Mustard powder is another secret weapon, along with hot sauce.

No Bean 30 Minute Chili

The quantity of hot sauce used in this recipe doesn’t make the dish spicy– in fact, you won’t even know it’s in there. But it is one of my favorite flavor boosters that I use in everything from mac and cheese to soup recipes.

If you’re a spice lover. Toss in some mushrooms or play with different bean combinations. This also works great with ground turkey or a ground beef/ground sausage combination!

(This jump-start allows them to release some of their natural sugars which is a nice way to offset the acidity of the tomatoes.)

Instant Pot No Bean Chili With Ground Beef Recipe

Increase heat and cook and crumble the ground beef for 5 minutes. Add bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, and garlic and cook for 3 more minutes. Drain grease.

Add chicken broth and use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom and sides of the pot. Add the beef bouillon, crushed tomatoes, and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover partially and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Taste and add seasonings as needed. Let it rest for 5 minutes prior to serving, it will thicken even further. Serve with cornbread!

Easy No Bean Turkey Chili (paleo + Low Carb Chili Recipe)

Pro Tips The Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, and hot sauce act as flavor enhancers and can’t be tasted outright. The hot sauce won’t make it spicy, I use Frank’s hot sauce for this recipe. Spice Lovers: If you like heat, I would double or triple the hot sauce and use a little more cayenne as well. Consider adding additional spice gradually and tasting until desired level is obtained. Chicken Broth: I like the depth of flavor from using chicken broth as it adds a nice contrast to the beef, but feel free to use beef broth or a combination of both. Make-Ahead Meal: This is a great recipe to make up to 2 days ahead of time and reheat on the stove top when ready to eat! If needed, an 8 oz. can of tomato sauce (or passata) can be added as the chili may thicken more during storage.

No Bean Chili (beanless Chili)

Despite my bitter feelings towards winter (read: it’s been in the negative and single digits here within the past few weeks), I do love that this time of year makes me want to whip up warm and comforting meals.

There’s just something about a hearty dinner that fills me up and keeps me satisfied, even if there is three feet of snow outside (ok, so I’m exaggerating just a little). And nothing screams comfort food more to me than chili.

I’ve been a chili fanatic for as long as I can remember! The spicy flavor and mixture of meats, veggies, and beans fits perfectly with a hunk of cornbread. And while I’ll eat chili any time of the year, I only make it in the winter. It just seems more appropriate, right?
