Ingredients
5 strips uncooked bacon chopped*
1 large yellow onion diced (about 1 cup)
1 red pepper diced
3 cloves garlic minced (about 1 Tablespoon)
1 lb ground beef 455g
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon chili powder**
1 Tablespoon ancho chili powder**
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper***
1 1/4 cup beef broth 295ml
15 oz dark red kidney beans lightly rinsed and drained (425g)
15 oz black beans lightly rinsed and drained (425)
14.5 oz diced fire roasted tomatoes undrained (411g)
1 7- oz can fire roasted green chilis 198g
1/4 cup tomato paste 66g
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Preferred toppings particularly sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn chips
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:29 Place chopped (uncooked) bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until crisp and cooked through. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate and drain all but 1 1/2 Tablespoons of grease.
01:17 Add onion and pepper and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
01:33 Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
01:45 Add beef, breaking apart with a spatula as you cook. Once meat is partially (about 50%) browned, add sugar and all spices (chili powders, paprika, cumin, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper) and stir well.
02:52 Add all remaining ingredients -- beef broth, beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, chilis, and Worcestershire sauce -- and your cooked bacon and stir well.
03:33 Bring to a boil and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
03:45 Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 30 minutes to allow flavor to really develop.
04:05 Serve with preferred toppings (sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn chips are a must!)
Notes
For best flavor, DO NOT OMIT THE BACON. However, as someone who spent 23 years not eating bacon I wanted to include tips for those of you who might have the same restrictions. if you wish to make this recipe without bacon you *can do so by skipping the first step, heating 1 1/2 Tablespoons of oil over medium heat, and then beginning from step 2. On the other hand, if you want additional bacon for garnishing, cook it now and reserve.
**You can substitute one chili powder for the other and use just traditional chili powder or just ancho chili powder, but I personally like the blend of the two.
*** This gives the chili a mild spice, if you like more heat increase to 1/4 teaspoon for a moderate spice. Add additional cayenne pepper at your own risk!

I've made this twice now and it is definitely the best chili I've ever tasted. Its easy to modify depending on what I have on hand and the first time I made it I used whatever beans I had in the pantry including chickpeas. I leave out the green chilis because I'm not a fan, but the level of heat and intensity of flavour is amazing. It has now become a go to recipe and I've already shared it with friends.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad enjoy it so much. 😊

I made it too but added an additional pound of ground turkey and doubled all the other ingredients with a can of yellow corn too. Its one of the best things ive ever made. I got 5 solid meals all for less than $10.

I,ve made this many times. The second time, I added the tomato paste with the spices, and browned it a little. This sent this chili to another level. I just won my Moose Lodge chili cook off. Great recipe. Thanks.

How much tomato paste ?

[@dorothylarsen2253]

I wanted to thank you for the chili recipe. We have a chili cook off at work every year. This recipe beat out a 3 time winner this year.....

Your chili recipe keeps winning awards. I just won first place at our church on a chili contest using your recipe.

[@nancyecombs1976]

This is by far, the best chili I have made in 50 years. OMG, everyone on my list of friends and neighbors begs for just a little bowl. I am never going back to any other chili recipe EVER.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much! 😊😊

[@mariatschiele]

It is very tasty. Am not a chili person but this one made me love Chili 😄

[@mimaberry]

I know this is an older video, but I, too, just made this today. My husband and I LOVE it. It's going on our rotation of dinners I make often. Thanks, Sam, for giving us such a wonderful tasting chili recipe.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so happy you liked it!

[@gamadmex]

I made this last night, and it was extremely good. I did have to make a couple modifications due to my current refrigerator contents. I used about 1.5# of beef stew meat and 1.3# of coarsely ground beef, far more than the recipe specifies. And I added 1/2 of a green pepper in addition to the red bell pepper in the recipe as well as an additional 1/2 of a white onion. And I used some roasted Hatch green chiles that I had recently thawed. Again, this is what I had on hand and had to use before it spoiled. But overall the result was great. I've never used ancho chili powder or black beans in my chili before, and they definitely add a unique flavor twist.

[@secondstring]

I made this to take to my daughter & son-in-law's house. She is in recovery from a surgey and a friend of hers set up a "food train" where someone different delivers a meal-a-day for the first week after her surgery. By the time it was my turn, they had already accumulated a ton of leftovers, so I told her I would bring some chili in freeezable containers for later. So the plan was that we were not going to eat the chili when I visited, we would eat the leftovers. But once they sampled it, everyone loved it so much that's what we ate, and everyone demanded the recipe. So....kudos!!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m so glad it was such a hit! I wish her a speedy recovery! 😊😊

I say this as someone who's neurodivergent and normally doesn't eat most ingredients included in this: this is the best chili I've ever tasted in my life. It's taking every last bit of willpower for me to not eat it all in one setting.

Made this tonight. Followed the recipe to the letter with the exception of I used a home-made beef broth. Outstanding chili. Very very good. I topped with lots of Fritos, green onions, and chopped pickled jalapenos & carrots. No sour cream. Didn't need it because the heat is just right, and savory. The bacon and Worcestershire sauce work really well. Very well done!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Sounds great! I'm so happy it was a hit for you 😊

This is the only chili I would eat. I going to make it again for the weekend because me and my family loved it so much we ate it for lunch and dinner.

Winter returned to us in Ontario, so I decided to make chili for my wife and I and I used your recipe. This was a great tasting dish and even though we had our own recipe, it has been thrown out and yours is now our go to. Everything about the flavors is perfect. Thanks for posting the delicious dish.

Made this tonight for my son and I.. and omg it was amazing!! I doubled the recipe, added a can of beer (Modelo), 86’d the kidney beans, and added some cinnamon. Definitely a top 2 chili ever if not the best! Now I need to find a chili cook off to win 😎

[@johnfriedmann2413]

That's like the perfect chili recipe. Simple, but covers all the bases. I might go a little heavier with the heat and spices, but as is; that is nice. Also appreciate the addition of Brown Sugar! I tend to add some for that fraction of sweetness that combats the bitterness of some chili spices. Good job!

[@hudsonja]

Mine is extremely similar to this, but I also add light kidney beans, a bit more brown sugar, a small can of crushed pineapple with the juices, 1-2 tbsp of lemon or lime juice and about 1 tbsp of fish sauce and teriyaki marinade to really get that umami flavor. I usually get weird looks when I say I added brown sugar and pineapple, but everyone loves it when they taste it. I also do the corn starch slurry to thicken it up along with the beef broth and tomato paste. Well done! I also usually make mine spicy, but many of my friends can't handle the spice so I have cut down on the Chipotle and jalapeños, but my next batch for myself I'll definitely be adding the Chipotle pepper and adobo!

Greetings from Galveston Island, Texas! 🏝 🌅 Hi Sam! I had to tell you that my husband has won 2 annual chili cook-offs with your recipe. This last Sunday he won the second, and I told him, you gotta give Sam her props!! Last December was the first time he made it and when I tried it, I told him: you're gonna win. It was the best chili I'd ever tasted! And I was right! He won...out of like 25 chilis!!! This year he made 7 lbs of chili, and let me tell you, that pot was scraped dry, lol!!! Also, in between the cook-offs, my hubby has made it a few times for smaller gatherings for friends who were coming in from out of state and they all raved about it! So, thank you for sharing your most delicious recipe!!! We, in turn, have shared it with so many others!

This is the best I have ever made....So easy and quick to make..... only ingredient I have added is a couple of tablespoons of hickory barbeque sauce.

Hope you enjoy!

I made this and it was good. Oddly enough it tasted better after it sat in the fridge for a day and was reheated. Will make again.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! The flavors had some time to really develop. Sometimes I will let mine simmer for a good while so the flavors become much better. :)

Most dishes, soups and stews, taste better the next day as the ingredients have had a chance to marry.

that's because her recipe doesn't simmer long enough. use her recipe and simmer on lowest setting for 3 hours AT LEAST covered.

I find that chili always tastes better the next day so I made this on Saturday and put it in the fridge fir the next day ..... it was fantastic very good chili thank you

[@SugarSpunRun]

It definitely gives the flavors time to really develop. 😊
