3-Ingredient Chili
This recipe is a game-changer. Hands down, the quickest chili you will ever make—and I promise, it also delivers big on taste. All you need is just three simple ingredients…and 10 minutes later, it’s in the end zone (aka your belly.)
This big pot of satisfying comfort food is perfect for tailgates, last-minute get-togethers, hectic weekday dinners…or really, anytime you want to treat yourself to a whole lot of yum. There’s no chopping, fussing, or hours of simmering required.
If you want to ramp up the classic chili flavors with a boost of smokiness, mix in 2 tablespoons chili powder and 2 teaspoons ground cumin. I suggest starting with less, taking a taste, and then increasing until you hit your preferred amount. I’m really excited for you to try out this delicious hack—I’ve come to use it over and over again with my chili-loving gang!
