*30 MINUTE CHILI RECIPE*
•2.5 pounds (1200g) 80/20 ground beef
•250g (1 large) white onion, small diced
•20g garlic (5-6 cloves), pressed
•2 14.5oz/411g cans diced tomatoes, drained
•1 can (425g) tomato sauce
•1 28oz/800g can fire-roasted tomatoes
•2 smoked chipotle peppers in adobo
•50g (3T) tomato paste
•Olive oil
•60g (1/2c) chili powder
•30g (1/4c) paprika
•10g (1 1/2T) ground cumin
•1-3g (1t) Chili flakes
•20g (4t) hot sauce (i like frank’s)
•30g (2T) brown sugar
•30g (2T) Worcestershire sauce
•15g (1T) cider vinegar
•30g (1 1/2T) beef bouillon paste (i like better than bouillon)
•10g (2t) salt
•4 16oz/450g cans kidney beans (i like bush’s or 365 brand)
•Water or beef stock (as needed)

Instructions:
1. Place ground beef on a sheet tray, flatten into a sheet, and broil on high for 8-10 minutes (8”/20cm) below broiler until browned on top. Allow to cool while you prepare the chili.

2. While the beef is broiling, dice the onion and press the garlic. Drain the liquid from the diced tomatoes.

3. Use an immersion blender to combine fire-roasted tomatoes and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Blend until smooth.

4. In a large pot over medium heat, add a long drizzle of olive oil, onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Sweat the onion until softened, 5 min.

5. Add chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, and chili flakes. Stir and toast the spices for 20-30 seconds.

6. Add the blended tomato mixture, tomato sauce, drained diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pot.

7. Add hot sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, beef bouillon paste, and salt. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes.

8. Once beef is cooled, break it down into small crumbles and add it into the simmering chili along with drained kidney beans and simmer for a minimum of 10 minutes.

9. If the chili is too thick, add a bit of water or stock to achieve the desired consistency. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes.

10. Taste the chili and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and hot sauce to taste. Stir and taste in between adding each ingredient.

I like to top mine with diced onion, sour cream, shredded cheddar, and oyster crackers, but you do you.

Your sheet pan broiler method for ground beef is a game changer for me. I tried it recently with a batch of gyro meat and the results were outstanding. Easily the best gyros I've ever made at home.

[randychadwick]

I cook my butt off and have for decades. I can't make chili. Tried and gave up, a couple times. NOW, after seeing this, I got it!! No question!! Bless you, my son!!

[Zencmeseasy]

This channel is a gift to home cooks everywhere. You never miss.

[crystalrowan]

I love, love, love the bit at the end regarding how to season for flavor. I've learned so much from you and I can't wait to try this recipe!

[Freighty]

This won me a chili cook off competition. Thanks Brian!

[dominicjohnson]

Dude I do not honestly understand how you post a recipe for the exact meal I'm planning to make, this is like the sixth time

[Nosreves]

I'm 32 now and a bit of a late starter in the "cooking at home is better" game. What started off as last year necessity just to keep the budget in a better place has turned into me investing in more cookware, finding whatever deals I can, and constantly watching cooking videos. From last year when I had friends teaching me proper cutting methods to this year where I have friends come over knowing I prepped enough that they can always get a bite to eat, my main source of food ideas comes from your channel. You show things that are easy to make, easy to understand, show the cooking process so we can reference where we are in our stages, and just make it fun. Thank you for your videos, I've used your recipes to keep people fed and happy. Rock on, keep eating those things, and thank you so much!

[LSTinNARNIA]

I really appreciate you explaining how to adjust at the end, and how balance works :) I'll be taking that to the kitchen!

[doriswestfall]

Made this the other day and it was fabulous! My husband said I could make this anytime, he LOVED it! Thank you!

[NathanSpiwak]

Love the taste test portion of the video! More of that please! Very fun and informative.

[NateBrotzman]

Glad to see your channel thriving, great recipe as always

[carlzepecki]

I just made this recipe and won my workplaces chili competition. Thank you, Bri!

[BrakusJPS]

I just made this. It is stellar. I had to adjust for salt and sweetness — it was bland and bright to start — and it came out amazing. I can’t wait to try the leftovers!

[xAsmodeus]

I never would have thought of using the broiler for browning ground beef. Genius.

[thegravytrain]

I've made this twice just to play around with the extras. IMHO, this is the best quick chili with beans recipe out there. The fire-roasted tomatoes, the chipotle peppers, and the broiled beef combine to form great depth of flavor. Made as written, it's a great chili. A couple of possible adjustments: (1) When making the whole recipe, 1/4 teaspoon of liquid smoke adds a whole other dimension - complex but not recognizable. Liquid smoke is not forgiving - do NOT add more or it will overwhelm. (2) I suspect a lot of people will cut this recipe in half, so the second time I made it I cut everything by 50% and then adjusted so I wouldn't have to waste a partial can of tomatoes. I think that for half recipes, using the whole can of the fire-roasted tomatoes and eliminating the diced tomatoes yields a fantastic result. If you do this, you will have to reduce the vinegar by 75% (from the original recipe) because you aren't draining the juice from the fire-roasted tomatoes. (3) Using half light and half dark kidney beans yields a prettier dish. This works fine with a half recipe because the original recipe calls for 4 cans.

Some brilliantly clever techniques in this. The beef under the broiler, the blending in the can, the ingredient combinations.

[perotross]

Blind bean testing... I love it! More blind tastings please! Excellent video, I am going to try this for sure.

[normasaldivar]

I have been making this recipe for over 44 years. Well done. It works so well.

[marcl]

Love the taste test! It would be awesome to see more of those in your videos!

[SonicTheHedgehog-mhuw]

Made this last week.

My wife, who’s never had chili before, loved it so much, she requested it again this week.
