If you are on the hunt for the best chili recipe, you’ve come to the right place because we are sharing 79 EASY Chili Recipes you’ll love!
It’s always a great idea to have an easy chili recipe in your pocket to pull out for a simple weeknight dinner or to serve a crowd on game day!
We are sharing some twists on your classic beef chili that have so much flavor the only thing you’ll be wondering is if there are enough for seconds!
What Kinds of Meat Are Good To Use in Chili Recipes?
One of our favorite things about great chili is that it is versatile! Chili can be made with a huge variety of different meats or no meat at all!
The best meat for chili depends on the type you’re making, so check the recipe card.
A classic chili recipe most often uses regular or lean ground beef, however good substitutes can be ground turkey, ground pork, or diced or ground chicken.
Or you can skip the ground meat altogether and opt for adding beans for a vegetarian chili.
Some great bean options/add ins for a an easy bean chili would be:
- pinto beans
- black beans
- kidney beans
- white beans
What Side Dishes Go Well With Chili?
Even a simple homemade chili recipe is filled with complex flavor so you may want to serve your bowl of chili with something milder such as:
- corn chips
- tortilla chips
- homemade cornbread
- dinner rolls
- garden salad
- and your favorite toppings such as: cheddar cheese, sour cream, and green onions
How Do I Store Leftover Chili?
Leftovers are always a good reason to cook up a double batch of your favorite chili recipe.
You can easily and quickly serve leftovers the next day (or later!)
After allowing the chili to cool completely, you can store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can also store leftovers in the freezer for up to 3 months! We like to store leftover chili in ziplock bags in the freezer, labeled clearly on the bag.
To serve frozen chili, thaw in the fridge overnight, and heat in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes.
Are you ready to find a new favorite simple chili recipe? Grab your instant Pot, crock pot or Dutch Oven and your favorite chili powder and let’s start making some chili!
