Lisa - I absolutely LOVE your videos and share them at every opportunity! They are precise without being stodgy and they're extremely well edited without being overly stylized - something sorely lacking in most of today's YT videos. You talk just enough to deliver the message w/o being chatty. In all, a recipe for a great video, as your subscriber numbers can attest. Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work!

[@Downshiftology]

Wow, you're so sweet! Thanks for your kind words, support, and being a part of this community 😊 Hope you love this new chili recipe!

[@cathyl1954]

I totally concur! Concise to the point well edited and delicious results👍❤

[@jacquidevine5178]

Totally agree

[@Jom-jg7ty]

Totally concur as well! Love that there is not much unnecessary talking in the videos. I love the calming demeanor and voice.

[@jmdavies1982]

[@mayrarocha8313]

My son requested Chilli for Dinner today. I am a born an raised Mexican. I found your recipe and will make chilli for the first time ever. Wish me luck 😁

[@chantellelynn5634]

I made this chili Yesterday and ate it today for the first time, and, wow, this chili is amazing! Thank you!

[@marianatirante612]

I saw the video 3 hours ago. I went to get all the ingredients that I need. Now is 6:15 pm Monday 21, and just an hour I cooked this delicious "Chili con Carne !!! HOOO my good !!! It's so good!! I prepared a lot so I can freeze at lest half! My husband love it!!! It's the BEST CHILI RECIPEEEEE!!!! THANKS FOR TIME LISA!!!

[@Downshiftology]

Woo! So glad you both enjoyed this recipe Mariana 😊

[@kristiemao4275]

This really was one of the best chili recipes I've ever had. I did add three extras: a whole guajillo chili, jalapeno, and some sweet potato to the mix. But the chili itself was superb. I shared this recipe with a friend of mine, and he will be making it for his family too. I absolutely love your channel so much Lisa!

[@kimhelms5398]

Ditto ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@missgirlworld]

I have made this recipe several times, and everyone loves it!

[@Downshiftology]

Happy to hear everyone loves this chili recipe! 😊

[@ianboltron]

Just made it! I subbed out bell peppers for a few poblanos, then also added a jalapeno as well as just seasoning a little more to taste but this is a killer recipe!

[@estebanjaramillo6513]

Adding items to grocery list to make this. It looks amazing.

[@Downshiftology]

Yay 😊 Enjoy this new one Esteban!

[@radiantmasterpiece5649]

I just made this and it was perfect! I love that it doesn't have a sodium heavy feel, it was absolutely wonderful and my husband loved it too! I also added a Jalapeño!!

[@Downshiftology]

Glad you and your husband enjoyed this chili recipe ❤️

[@jessicalemus1]

This chili looks delicious 😋. I made two different versions with what I had at home. I didn't have bacon, I use ground turkey instead of ground beef. I grilled up some tomatoes. I used black beans on one and I used lentils and another to substitute beans. They were both delicious! Glad I subscribed. I will continue to follow you and make your recipes. Thank you!

[@dala6621]

Made this chili and Oh My Gosh! Talk about all the right flavors! It’s melt in your mouth delicious! Thank you for sharing this bc it is officially the only way I’m making chili from now on! 🤤🙌🏽❤️

[@adrianavazquez7525]

Hi! I cooked this recipe and it is absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing!!

[@randomharts]

My husband is a chili connoisseur so I HAD to try this recipe! It is AMAZING!😋The chili is super flavorful yet not too spicy🌶, and the perfect amount of beans to meat ratio! I used smoked paprika and fire roasted tomatoes in mine and those sent the flavor over the top! Thank you for another delicious recipe...waiting for that cookbook😉 And of course we served it with all the extras...why not!!!😉

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful! Glad you loved this recipe 😊 And stay tuned for more info on that.....

[@fjimmel]

We made this chili yesterday for dinner and it was fabulist ....outstanding.

[@Downshiftology]

[@ordinarymatt]

I made this yesterday. for me I needed to add a lot more spice, that said its great base and was very good. thanks for the video. love the channel.

[@Downshiftology]

You can always adjust to your liking 😊

[@melissapalladino4974]

We LOVE chili, so I made this for dinner tonight. BEST CHILI EVER! No joke! So easy to make and absolutely delicious. Perfect flavors! Thanks again!

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful! 😊

[@teri6736]

Hello, thank you for chili recipe 😋. I never really liked chili growing up so this was my first time ever making it and it was delicious!! The whole family loved it.

[@sshhayne]

Yummmm 😍 I will definitely be making some chili this week

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you love this new recipe! ❤️

[@tlmorris]

I made this chili for my meal prep this week and it was so delicious!! Chili just keeps getting better day after day. I usually make chili with turkey but this time I decided to use beef because your recipe had that and it was much hardier with the beef. I ended up using my smoked paprika in this and yum! I’ll keep this one for sure! Great job!!

[@Downshiftology]

Amazing! Glad you loved this recipe Tammy ❤️ And yes, beef really adds a depth of flavor for this.

[@annecastel6617]

I have a fav chili recipe already but since I have loved the last 3 recipes of yours that I have tried , I am going to shake things up with a new chili. Thanks for your hard work.

[@leeyad6019]

JUST made this recipe! It is as good as it looks and as others are saying, there's no exaggeration! 😋

[@Bobbcee]

Made this today and it was amazing! I’m always looking for a one pot high protein dish I can enjoy with healthy small portioned carbs on the side. You Lisa are amazing!

[@Downshiftology]

Thrilled to hear you loved this chili recipe! 😊

[@henry1050]

This is my favorite recipe of yours that I've made. It's so hearty and delicious while being simple to make. I've made several tweaks over the past year and the process of making it my own has increased my confidence in the kitchen so much. Repurposing these leftovers is such a fun puzzle too!

[@Downshiftology]

Oh wonderful! I'm so happy you love the recipe Henry! And that's great that you've been modifying it to make it your own. Well done!

[@foxwoodb3062]

Love your videos! Can you do one on your Boos Block cutting board and it's cleaning and care, and also your knives?!?!?!?!

[@Downshiftology]

Will definitely keep that in mind 😊

[@egreaves2690]

Another great recipe. Your channel has given me an easy and affordable way to prepare and eat healthy meals. Every recipe I've tried I love and continue to make. Today I'm meal prepreping your cilantro lime chicken and creamy chipolte shirmp. Both are my favs and it's hard to decide which one to eat 1st. Thank you for all the hard work and great recipes. By far my fav KZbin channel.😊

[@Downshiftology]

I'm so glad you've enjoyed all my recipes so far and that it's been able to help you in the kitchen! 😊 Can't wait for you to try both of those recipes. You're going to love it.

Thank you! And have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your love ones ❤

[@lorrem2539]

I love soup! The first soup I ever made from scratch was potato soup. I was watching Julia Child on PBS-fyi an original episode before cable and the internet were a thing LOL. it was 😋 yummy. Her recipe called for leeks and in those days that was not something I was familiar with nor was it a regular at the supermarket (I was young and my mother did not cook a lot) so I just used onion. I have since tweaked the recipe by adding carrot and celery and occasionally making it a cheesy version. I never did try it cold, sorry can’t spell vichyssoise. LOL!

[@konetalatiwells6691]

Great recipe thank you for sharing. It’s my to go chili recipe

I was planning on making chili this week. I am going to try your recipe as I have all the ingredients except for sour cream. That is easy to get. Thanks! I live in AZ and it is in the 90 -100 degree range. That does no stop me from wanting chili. Air conditioning takes care of the problem.

[@candaceclayton7136]

Hi Lisa! Another great video as always! I found a cool trick to ease the task of peeling garlic and I thought I would share as you love garlic in you recipes like me. Just put them in a closed mason jar or sturdy container and shake vigorously for about 20ish seconds and then the peels fall right off! Love your videos. Stay well ❤️

Thanks for sharing and hope you enjoy this recipe Candace! 😊

looks delicious ... I'm defiantly making them

[@tammyhengst8773]

Great tip on the Roasted Tomatoes, that's ALL I use now when cooking ;) I roasted my tomatoes before making a huge batch of sauce to freeze for the year :) NO need for sugar this year~! Roasting the tomatoes really brought out the sweetness in the tomatoes, well worth the time and effort~

[@evieaddy9580]

Ground beef usually tends to be tougher cuts minced up so it may help to cook it low and slow in a slow cooker.

[@Downshiftology]

You can definitely make this in the slow cooker as well! 😊

[@juliecarson3623]

You can get a much more tender result by adding a solution of 3/4 teaspoon baking soda in 2 tablespoons water for every 2 pounds of ground meat. Work the solution through the meat and let the meat sit out for 15-20 minutes before you cook it. Haven't tried this when slow cooking ground meat, but this is seriously effective on the stovetop. www.cooksillustrated.com/how_tos/6707-tenderizing-meat-with-a-baking-soda-solution

[@alanaltshuld]

That looks amazing and this video is so good, I think I can actually smell the chili through my screen! I’ll definitely be making this once the weather cools a bit. Thanks for another great recipe, Lisa!

Looks great. Its very similar to the chilli I do. I like to eat with lightly toasted Pita bread or whole grain rice. Very filling and warming

I put mine in zip loc bags flat side down. It saves sooo much space in my tiny freezer 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@bhupendrahirpara3245]

You make cooking an art!

[@mickstermouseter7059]

Great recipe! I add my spices as the meat is browning, then I add a bottle of Corona Lite (considered gluten free) to the browned meat and simmer for 30 minutes before adding my other ingredients. I also add 1 medium sized ghost pepper, finely chopped, when I want added heat. Nothing warms you like a bowl of great chili!

[@Downshiftology]

Couldn't agree more! 😊

Only change I would make would be to brown the beef separately from the veggies in the bacon fat, as well as add the beans 1/2 hour prior to being done simmering. Total simmering time is 1 hour. My recipe is quite similar though. Nice job.

This recipe looks great. Try swapping the chili seasoning and cumin, 2 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp chili seasoning. It really changes the flavour and it's still delicious. I love to top my chili with a dab of sour cream.

YUM 😋 I’m making this

[@H2Dwoat]

Hi, the best chilli I ever made was slow cooked in the oven for about 4 hours whilst we went to the pub. To this day I’m still not sure if it was the libations or the slow cooking 😁.

[@a.7525]

Both 😉

[@Lady_Cyndia]

It's because of the slow cooking. The longer cooking time gives the chili time for the ingredients to blend deliciously. Have you noticed how the chili or even spaghetti sauce tastes better the next day? It happens for the same reason. When I make chili, I start cooking it about noon, once it's fully cooked, I turn off the heat and just let it sit on my stove top with the lid on. At dinner time, I just heat and serve. Yummm, give it a try, cook it ahead of time and then turn it off and enjoy the rest of your day.

[@silviamaria1000]

Lisa, geeezzzz how do you keep your Le Creuset like new? Mine is all stained ☹️

[@lauraz2896]

Bleach

[@geraldarcuri9307]

This is very similar to my award-winning chili con carne recipe. Chile con carne is, of course, a Tex-Mex specialty, and any chili that wants to be authentic should hew close to the originals. ( Not that variations aren't good! ) I personally would ditch the bell pepper in this recipe. It has a tendency to shift the flavor profile in any food in a distinct direction that is non-negotiable. A Hatch chile or even a Poblano would be preferable, but no whole chile is really necessary. I add some oregano to my chili and fresh crushed garlic when I am sautéing the meat. I prefer a blend of ground beef and pork, never turkey. I simmer my chili for a minimum of three hours; six is ideal.
