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]

Need to make your sauce first lolx

[@dpnice7721]

Opened a bottle of wine, put on some music and spent my evening in the kitchen. I have never eaten chilli as I hate beans so I added Hienz baked beans at the end. It was wonderful and gave me several portions to freeze. This lonely old man thanks you for bringing a little pleasure into his life.

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed this recipe 😊

[@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 😁

[@teresaboulware8555]

So I made the chili the first time last nigtht and was hoping my husband would like it with all the spices. He LOVED it!!!! Ate 3 bowls....... I did add 2 Tbs of brown sugar and a can of Bushes Chili Red Beans. Very good, thank you Lisa

[@Downshiftology]

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!

[@chantellelynn5634]

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

[@etudda7547]

Just made this recipe. Used what I had. No can tomatoes so I used vegetable broth and added my left over cherry tomatoes from my garden. topped on organic corn chip. DELICIOUS!! Thank you

[@tracytimoteo]

Thank you, I made this for a board game Sunday afternoon and everyone loved it. Scraped the dutch oven loved it. I’m so grateful for you and your content. I feel so accomplished after cooking one of your recipes.

[@Greeningermany]

I make a very similar recipe but I use ground turkey and also add cubes of roasted butternut squash or sweet potato as well. I sometimes add a bit of cinnamon and cocoa to give it a deep rich flavour. I love your videos and have been watching you for a while. I have recommended you to so many people who want to learn how to cook delicious healthy food. Please keep the videos coming and have a lovely day!! Cheers

[@MisterMcKnight]

first really cold rainy fall day and I'm making this right now to commemorate it. the smell is amazing. I used smoked paprika in addition to the fire roasted diced tomatoes because I'm about that smokey life.

Beef chili recipe looks very yummy and useful, so much vegetable, thank you friend.

[@Downshiftology]

Enjoy! 😊

[@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~

[@Shea11bee]

Seasoning and spices: tomato purée, roasted tomatoes, cumin, oregano, paprika, chili powder, beef broth, bay leaf . Toppings: shredded cheese, avocado, parsley, raw onion, sour cream. Yummi! 😋 will try it tomm. Thanx for sharing! 👍🏻🌻

[@missgirlworld]

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

I made this chili yesterday, and my mom said that she's not a big fan of chili and she's tried her share of it. BUT she said this was BY FAR the best chili she has ever had!! thank you so much for sharing the recipe~

So glad you enjoyed this recipe! 😊

[@alexisbaione4305]

I loooove adding fresh tomato with the cheese, Avo, and red onions ❤

[@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!

Hi Lisa, I am going through all of your great fall videos for meal prepping in October and I just made a batch of the chili. 1/2 went straight in the freezer while the other half I plan to eat this week. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@doughall3761]

It is really good I had a bit of a problem I didn’t have the beef broth but I substitute it with chicken broth one and a half cups and a half a cup of red wine and worked out really well thanks for your menu

[@ablargh]

This is so crazy, I was actually planning on making chili today and I'm so happy your video is out because now I'm going to modify the recipe a little bit

[@jackiemullen5919]

Oh and corn bread is in the oven!!!

Ah awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed this one😊 And if you ever have a chance, I would greatly appreciate a review on the website. Thank you!

Loveeee your videos! Wish there was a new one every night bc i watch and rewatch whenever I cook. Thank you for being you! If you could make low fodmap recipes I’d be stoked! So hard to find good recipes on that :)

Will keep that in mind 😊

How did you keep your Snow White Le Creuset like new and even cook chili in it?

[@Dcjc25]

Wow I was just thinking of making chili and here is this video in my recommendations list. Can’t wait to try!

[@Downshiftology]

You're going to love this one 😊

[@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!

[@fjimmel]

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

[@Downshiftology]

Glad you enjoyed this chili recipe!

[@wendtils]

I'll definitely be making this soon 🙂 Edit: The toppings are my favorite part! I grated some smoked cheddar which really adds a smoky depth.

[@ChouchooTranslations]

This truly was the best chili that I have created. It wasn't difficult to make, it didn't require many things to be prepared / chopped. I also added some unsweetened corn to the kidney beans and the result was amazing. Thank you Lisa!

[@soubifan700]

I will be making this chilli this week! This is perfect because I have a lot of tomatoes and onions I need to use up from the garden! Thank you for the awesome recipe! Chilli will definitely hit the spot where I live. The leaves are already changing and the air smells like fall😁

[@uweabraham3134]

That's another winner recipe among many others will try adding bacon to the mix I use yellow and red peppers and a tablespoon of dried cilantro and dried parsley for sweet and hot and add red pepper flakes for more a kick the rest is pretty much the same and mixed assorted beans Thanks for your version!! The use of bacon,onions,and garlic looks like a headliner for many other types of stews,soups and casserole preps!!

[@Downshiftology]

Bacon definitely adds a delicious flavor to this chili!

[@keithholcomb5085]

I’m sitting here eating my homemade when I discovered this video. I used no salt added kidney beans and ground up sirloin steaks that were on sale. All other ingredients were identical to this one and it turned out awesome. Even chopped up an avocado on top and it was delicious!!!

[@mutfakdili]

It looks delicious 😍😍😍😍

[@Downshiftology]

[@bonniepiehler693]

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.

[@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.

[@davidpizur1341]

Tried it. And it taste as fantastic as it looks. Excellent recipe, thanks a lot.

[@Chimera5X5]

Made an attempt after watching multiple times on ur receipe + added little bit of personal items like Jalapenos, sliced white mushrooms, and a much more variety of beans including: legumes, cannelini, pinto, navy & white large ferma fava beans. (I'm not sure if they're the names so plz don't hate or quote me) Can't describe on taste but the smell whilst cooking was just absolutely delicious! Thanks so much for sharing. It was my 1st try 😜🙏

I made this chili today and omg absolutely delicious. It was perfect for this snow day in Boston. Thank you

You can always adjust to your liking 😊

[@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!

Super recipe Lisa! Here’s a variation you might like: substitute one bottle of not-super-hoppy beer for the broth. I like Newcastle Brown Ale or Modelo Negro. The beer gives an undefinable but yummy taste!

[@gertu305]

[@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!

[@missmissy2490]

Thank you! Looks great.

[@judithmoore8288]

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!

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
