  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound of ground beef - ButcherBox®
  • 1 package of French's Chili seasoning
  • 2 cans of dark red kidney beans (drained)
  • 3 cans of petite diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 green pepper diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • optional water if too thick after it simmers.

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven or Large Cast Iron Skillet brown 1 pound of ButcherBox® ground beef.
  2. When the meat is almost cooked add the chopped onion, chopped green peppers, and chopped garlic and saute.
  3. Next, stir in the French’s chili packet, 3 cans of diced tomatoes, 2 cans of dark red kidney beans (drained) chili powder, and cumin. Stir well.
  4. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes.

Notes

  1. My husband has an issue with too much acid in food. As of 2025, I add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda at the very end of cooking, which reduces the chili’s acidity.
