01 Step

Recipe View 7 mins Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it's evenly browned and crumbly. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease and set the beef aside.

Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and almost a paste. Carefully add this mixture to the simmering bean mixture in the pot. Stir in the cooked ground beef.

Recipe View 1 hrs Simmer to Perfection: Cover the pot and let the chili simmer gently over low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld together.

Spice Level: Habaneros are potent! Start with half and taste before adding more. For a milder chili, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños and habanero.
Thickening: If you prefer a thicker chili, mix 1 tablespoon of masa harina with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Stir this into the chili during the last 15 minutes of simmering.
Serving Suggestions: Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or a dollop of Greek yogurt. Cornbread or tortilla chips make excellent accompaniments.
Make-Ahead: This chili is even better the next day! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It also freezes well for up to 2 months.

    This chili is amazing! The perfect balance of heat and flavor. I added a can of diced tomatoes for extra texture.

  • Bethel Mann

    I was a little scared of the habanero, but it gave the chili such a great depth of flavor. I'll definitely make this again!

  • Shaylee Labadie

    Easy to follow recipe, and the chili turned out great! I used chipotle powder instead of cayenne for a smoky twist.
