Make it a complete spread with chili toppings like cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, diced scallions and tortilla chips. Or, serve it with a side of my favorite, Mexican Cornbread.

Mexican Beef Mince And Kidney Beans

A surprise ingredient, the brine from a jar of pickled jalapeños, adds the acidity needed to perk up the flavors in this beefy chili, while a tablespoon of brown sugar balances it all out.

Also, this recipe is on the milder heat side, so you may wish to adjust the amount of chili powder and cumin to reach your desired heat index!

Certain ingredients and methods of cooking are better than others when it comes to building big flavor in a short amount of time. Follow these steps to make the best tasting chili in just 30 minutes.

The Best Healthy Turkey Chili You'll Ever Eat

I like using a pound each of ground chuck and ground sirloin. Ground chuck has a breakdown of 80 percent lean beef and 20 percent fat, while ground sirloin is 90/10. Combining the two means less fat renders out, leaving more flavor. Instead, you may substitute all ground round, with an 85/15 ratio.

Remember, the fat is where most of the beef flavor comes from, so avoid the temptation to drain the cooked ground beef. If you find there is too much fat for your taste, at the end of cooking you can spoon off any grease that rises to the top. However, using the mix of ground beef as I suggest will reduce the amount of fat that renders out.

Ground Beef Chili is a meaty, hearty soup that has less liquid than some other chilis, like this White Chicken Chili. That being said, in general beef chili should be thicker and more robust.

Normally, I cook my chili uncovered so that is cooks on the thicker side. Cooking with a lid on will preserve the moisture and make it a bit more soupy. If you feel your chili has too much liquid, uncover it and let it cook until the desired consistency and it if seems too thick, put a lid on it.

The flavors in chili will continue to meld the longer it cooks and the leftovers may even taste better the next day. Regardless, chili will still be flavorful if you only have a few minutes to let it simmer.

Whenever I use canned black beans or red kidney beans for chili, I always drain and rinse them for two reasons: 1) rinsing makes them easier to digest, and 2) the canning liquid is starchy and full of sodium.
