Indulge in a flavor-packed culinary journey with our baked bean chili, a hearty and comforting dish that seamlessly blends the classic flavors of chili with the smoky sweetness of baked beans. This fusion of two beloved dishes results in a delectable symphony of textures and tastes that will tantalize your taste buds.

This recipe offers a vegetarian variation, catering to those with dietary preferences or seeking a plant-based alternative. For meat lovers, there's a traditional version that incorporates ground beef or turkey. Both options deliver a satisfying and flavorful chili experience.

The vegetarian chili showcases the goodness of kidney beans, black beans, and corn, simmered in a rich tomato-based broth infused with aromatic spices. The baked beans add a sweet and smoky depth, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.

The traditional chili features ground beef or turkey, browned to perfection and blended with a medley of spices, tomatoes, and beans. The baked beans once again play a crucial role, adding a touch of sweetness and a delightful smoky aroma.

Accompaniments play an essential role in elevating the chili experience. Sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro add layers of flavor and texture. For a spicy kick, a dash of hot sauce or diced jalapeños can be added to taste.

BAKED BEAN CHILI



Baked Bean Chili image

It may seem strange to some to use Baked Beans in Chili, but this is the way my mother made her chili for as long as I can remember and I am not a big fan of Kidney beans or Chili beans, so this is my go to Chili recipe every time and my family loves it. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Time 1h10m

3 lb ground beef
4 pkg french's chili-o mix
4 can(s) bush's original baked beans
1 onion, chopped
1 can(s) tomato sauce
1 can(s) tomato paste

Steps:

  • 1. In Dutch Oven or large stock pot, brown ground beef and drain off grease, add in remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about an hour, stirring often to prevent burning to bottom of pot.
  • 2. Taste test it to see if it needs more tomato sauce or if you want it a little more soupy you can add a little bit of water to it, however you will need to add another partial pack of chili mix to compensate for the change in flavor due to adding the water.
  • 3. I serve it with Town House Crackers or Cornbread. Enjoy!!
