EASY AND QUICK GROUND BEEF AND SALSA CHILI



Easy and Quick Ground Beef and Salsa Chili image

This meal can be on the table in around an hour, even faster if you have freezer-ready ground beef mix, or you can simmer it for longer. If you do not have any chili seasoning mix use about 2-4 tablespoons chili powder instead, you can substitute 2 cups tomato sauce mixed with 1 cup water in place of tomato juice. This is great served with crostini or crusty buns

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Opt for lean ground beef, such as 85% lean or 90% lean, to ensure a flavorful and juicy chili.
  • Brown the beef thoroughly: Browning the beef adds depth of flavor and helps render out excess fat. Make sure to cook the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks.
  • Use a variety of spices: Chili is all about the spices! Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to create a unique flavor profile. Some classic chili spices include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy chili, add a diced jalapeño or serrano pepper to the pot. You can also use cayenne pepper or chili flakes to adjust the heat level to your preference.
  • Simmer for flavor: The longer you simmer the chili, the more time the flavors have to meld and develop. Aim to simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, but longer is even better.
  • Garnish with your favorites: Once the chili is cooked, garnish it with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, cilantro, and avocado.

Conclusion:

With its rich, flavorful broth, tender beef, and perfect balance of spices, this quick beef chili is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. It's an easy and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, from cornbread to rice to pasta.
