How to make Classic Chili Recipe
Prepare the Base
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a simmer over medium heat. Add the chicken bouillon cube, beef bouillon cube, and Better Than Bouillon Beef. Stir until dissolved to create a flavorful broth.
Add Seasonings
Mix in the onion powder and Tony’s Creole Seasoning. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Incorporate Beans and Tomatoes
Add the Bush’s chili beans (with liquid), drained red kidney beans, and diced tomatoes and chilies. Stir to combine.
Season with McCormick Chili Packet
Sprinkle in the McCormick chili seasoning packet and mix thoroughly.
Simmer and Develop Flavors
Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and deepen.
Taste and Adjust
After simmering, taste the chili and adjust seasonings as needed. You can add more Creole seasoning for heat or salt for balance.
Serve and Enjoy
Ladle the chili into bowls and serve hot. Pair with cornbread, crackers, or a dollop of sour cream for extra comfort.
