Description

This thick & hearty chili is perfectly seasoned and simply loaded with beef and beans. It’s the perfect chili to scoop up with Fritos scoops.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Chili powder (for mild), more for hot
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 can Brooks Just for Chili tomato sauce, or your choice, 14.5 to 15 ounces (see note below)*
  • 2 cans Brooks Just for Chili diced tomatoes, or your choice, 14.5 ounces each
  • 1 can Brooks Mild Chili Beans, 15.5 ounces
  • 1 can Brooks light red Kidney beans, drained, 15.5 ounces


Instructions

  1. Dice the onion. Add the onion, garlic and ground beef to a dutch oven or large skillet. Saute the mixture over medium heat until the ground beef is nicely browned and remove from heat. Drain off the grease.
  2. Add the dutch oven back to the heat. If using a skillet, transfer the mixture to a soup pot. Add the spices, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, tomatoes, tomato sauce and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for about ten minutes.
  3. Add the chili and kidney beans and mix in with a wooden spoon. Simmer on low for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste it to see if you need to add additional chili powder. 
  4. Serve hot in soup bowls with your favorite toppings, but it is excellent without any toppings.

Notes

  • *If you can’t find Brooks Just for Chili Sauce or another brand, use 3 cans instead of 2 cans of the Brooks Just for Chili diced tomatoes, and puree one can of them in your blender.
  • This is a great thick chili for scooping up on Frito scoops!
  • Can sizes are 14.5 – 15.5 ounce
