Chili Recipe - How to Make Homemade Chili - Easy Delicious One Pot Meal - The Hillbilly Kitchen

Nothing beats a bowl of hot chili served up with salty crackers and a cold glass of milk on a blustery winter's day. Kids love it with sour cream, cheese and tortilla chips.
My chili has a spicy flavor because of the peppers and onions, but it also has a slightly sweet taste that you and your family will love.
I won't lie and say that this recipe was handed down to me by my mom or granny. It's the result of 45 years of trial and error. That's what cooking is...trial and error.
When it comes to cooking, don't be afraid to go in the kitchen and throw some things in a pot and experiment, it's your kitchen.
JN 4:23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Remember to Put God First!!!

I could eat that chili for breakfast

[@mrsapplez2007]

Get out my head. 😂😂😂😂

[@herminadepagan3407]

Becky, I’m making this recipe tonight for my cousin’s husband as she gave birth to twins 9 weeks early. Please keep the babies in your prayers for a healthy start.

[@ruthiepooh86]

I’m praying that revival will spread to Oregon; we need it.

[@Old52Guy]

This could not have come at a better time. Snow storm blowing in, wind chill in the negatives, and all the ingredients are sitting on my shelf. Sounds like a great day! Thanks!

[@truthseeker6370]

SO, SO Happy to see you making new videos again, Becky! ❤ I could not be happier to learn of a new revival happening!!!

[@SwannOG]

Been enjoying your videos for about 7 months now and enjoying the food and recipes as they make for some fabulous food like my momma used to make.

[@zullo3529]

The chili looks good. Especially on these cold days we are having. My grown son always eats peanut butter sandwiches with his chili. I never understood it either. I hadn’t though of the school lunch connection. Thanks Becky 🥣🥣

[@jfkjrbeliever1869]

We're not drinkers here, but I will add Bloody Mary Mix along with the salsa in my chili. I learned it from one of our area restaurants. It makes the best chili!

[@mrsapplez2007]

Oooooh I'm def gonna try this. Thank you. 🙏🏿

[@Jenscraftsandjournals]

Just made this chili and added a few extra things and it is a hit! It’s the best! Thank you! - Jen

[@jacobhearns9724]

Once in awhile, I like chili over some cooked elbow macaroni… ChiliMac!

[@timyoder2541]

Me too, I like it over spaghetti kind of a twist on Cincinnati chili we have here.

[@lindawhitman6181]

Thank you for the devotion.

[@kathleenworkman2575]

Thanks for all the ideas to add to chili. Love that cornbread. God bless.

[@ajkylen]

😊hello I was wondering if you have tried doing the same recipe in a instant pot . Thank you 😊for a wonderful recipe and a fantastic show love all of your videos 🎉

[@thomastommy1192]

Another great video. Is salsa spicy? I can not eat spicy foods. Stay well & safe always.

[@maddog7101]

Do you have a tutorial on how to make Brunswick stew? I love your videos😊

[@virginiamesko6369]

My school cafeteria always had peanut butter and crackers to go with their chili. The students could ask for bread to spread peanut butter on if they wanted a sandwich. No jelly. Just peanut butter.

[@deniseolson6158]

I got a good laugh right off the bat because MY chili never turns out the same way twice either! Same can be said for my meatloaf. Thank you for the recipe. God's blessings on you and yours.

[@Esther-kq7nv]

I watch a LOT of KZbin cooking channels, & YOURS, Miss Becky, is my fa-vor-ite!!! We get food for the body AND soul here. In these times, we need practical info, recipes, & inspiration more than ever. I love watching your videos. God Bless & have a super day. 😊

I agree with you 😘 I don't know where she has been but she just popped up in my feed 😹

[@janievanhoozer8604]

Amen

[@janievanhoozer8604]

Hi Becky, chili is like soup, I had never thought of it that way. I live in Texas so my chili is highly Spanish influenced. I can’t tolerate the bell pepper families so I do not use that. We use to only use venison chili, it is excellent. I use onion, cayenne, salt and pepper and H‑E‑B our local grocery store has a spiced dry chili mix I use for most flavor as well as chili powder and crushed tomatoes and sauce. We usually have pinto beans on the side. I add water to thin it out and maybe take away some of the heat for pickie eaters. Your recipes are wonderful, I watch you and Mary’s Nest, best two cooking shows on you tube! Thank you thank you thank you🙏🇺🇸✝️

[@Esther-kq7nv]

@@emily--m I’ve been a viewer of hers for a long time. I lost track how long it’s been & how *I* found out about her. She’s fabulous! Welcome. 😁

[@anntravis6537]

Amen and Farming Pastors wife and farm cooking with Nan are all Christians who give you the world with the recipe

[@darlenesouthard4557]

Ms Becky I just love your videos. They are so comforting to me if that makes any sense. I appreciate the way you explain things that can be substituted. I made your dinner rolls for thanksgiving and they were a hit. Now you’ve got me hungry for chili so I’m off to the freezer to take out some ground beef. LOL

[@KathyS2464]

Like you said in layman’s terms Becky, chili is very versatile and like yours, mine never turns out the same either because I just throw in what I have. I love “following” your recipes because a lot of them is “use what you got” recipes! I love you sweet lady and love how you love the lord and share that with all of us. Keep posting and I’ll be here watching everything you put out! I hope you’re having a great weekend!❤🙏

[@davidwayne9413]

I really appreciate you and your recipes and how easy they are. I can follow your directions and I'm not a cook at all. Thank you so very much David Wayne.

[@gidget8717]

The best bowl of chili my husband & I have every eaten was made at the University of Kentucky Hospital in Lexington KY. It was in the late 80s or early 90s. My father in law had to stay overnight for some testing, as we started home we stopped and got 3 bowls to go. We went back to the motel to pack and we ate while it was still warm. 30 years later, we still talk about that chili. I could absolutely kick myself for not going back or even calling after we got home, and trying to find out how they made that chili. 🤦‍♀️ Years later when my dad was in hospice at the University of Tennessee, he fell in love with their tomato soup. He hadn't had an appetite in weeks and was losing weight and getting weaker. When we were getting ready to take him home, I went down to the kitchen to ask for their recipes. It was simply canned tomato soup BUT instead of adding water they used V8 juice! The cook said they gave it to all the cancer patients because it was easy for them to keep down and the V8 juice boosted the nutrition. Who would have thought something so simple could change the taste that much. I've made at that way ever since.

[@Angelhorselady]

I add V-8 to my Chili. Love the idea of adding it to Tomato Soup. I will try that for sure! Thanks!

[@reginajames5107]

Ms. Becky, you are such a blessing. I just finished a bowl of chili. Thank you.

[@JudgeGilbert]

Lol I can say the same , how are you doing

[@robertagilbert12345]

This looks absolutely delicious 😋. I think I'll make this tonight and serve it for Sunday dinner. Thank you Ms. Becky for sharing this awesome recipe. Also thank you for always sharing God's word with us. May God bless you and keep you warm and safe always love. 💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏

[@marknelson2905]

Bless the people that watch this channel. I can hear the seeds that are being planted here. Bless you Becky.

[@mishalea]

I haven't thought to use salsa, but that would make sense and be a short cut. I think I'll make some chili today, very windy day, should hit the spot!😊 Awesome verses! God bless you!

[@PorkChop3659]

😂😂😂 guess who sister

[@pintsizestories196]

Your chili looks so tasty! I like to serve my chili with rice.

[@GrandmaGiggles]

I enjoyed watching you make chili 🤗 Some things I have added to my basic chili, that were delicious are things such as small diced stew meat, a couple tsp of Better than Bullion Beef (reduced sodium), the Better than Bullion Chili Base (its SOoo good) and even a Tblsp or two of cocoa powder (that adds a molé dimension to the chili). In Hawaii, we always have sticky calrose white rice with chili. For breakfast you can add an over easy fried egg on top. Now that I have been newly transplanted to Arkansas, I like to have cornbread on the side too.😉 No surprise I am needing more than ever to drop some weight 🤣 I've been watching the exciting news of revival at that college! And there's a movie called Jesus Revolution based on the true story of revival in the early 70s... that's going to be exciting to see. 👍🏻🙂 Praise God for this to be finally happening after so many have prayed so long for just such an outburst of faith & God's presence in the world. 🙏🙏 Thank you Jesus.

[@JudgeGilbert]

Nice comment how are you doing

[@LUVDOGS1954]

Thank you fir the video. Mine is pretty darn similar, except I throw in a tad of brown sugar, and I start mine in the early morning, go about my chores, while the flavors blend for about 4 hours...in a crock pot!

[@KathysTube]

I'm going to be making a pot in the next day or two... thanks Becky 🤗❤️

[@suzybailey-koubti8342]

That’s how mommy always fixed her chili. Except she never used jalapeños. Daddy always liked his with a lot of black pepper so she held off on adding it while cooking and we all added our own. ❤

[@estherbrewer2720]

Thanks so much for this video. Love the chili recipe, but above all the news of the Campus Revival. I enjoy your channel. May God Bless you and your family as you continue to further His Kingdom. 🙏♥️

[@ronb67]

I use ground venison that has been properly handled after a harvest.

[@DianeC.]

Hi Becky!!! Your Chili sure does look mighty tasty!!! Everyone uses different items in there chili. I always like to see what people use. Take Care & GOD Bless you. Great video!!!...🦋

[@terryrobinson1416]

I love hunts diced tomatoes. Especially the new fire roasted for chili. Much better flavor.

[@Jennifer-tf8ud]

Nice to hear you talk about how Brett liked to eat his chili. I grew up liking a peanut butter sandwich with mine and I'm thinking probably because that's what we were served at school. I also love to dunk a peanut butter sandwich in my vegetable soup💞

[@cindykq8086]

Growing up I loved dipping a grilled cheese sandwich in tomato soup. Good times.

[@cathyeevans5758]

God bless you!!!!! I love watching your channel. I watch and tweak my recipes sometimes because of your ingredients. Hope you are adjusting 'a little'. I continue to pray for you and yours, just like you pray for all of us..♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@markupton5124]

Becky you're the best love the Testimony and encouragement. I also appreciate your honesty about fixing the Chilly the way you like it.

[@BlondeInc]

Hello! This is only the second video of yours I've seen, I just found you yesterday & saw Preacher's cake, which I'm making for after Sunday supper tomorrow. I know God lead me to your channel & I am so grateful. You're a treasure, & thanks for taking the time to share good food & the good news! Blessings to you & yours. ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇲✌🏻

[@johncollins500]

We used to fix peanut butter sandwiches with Chilli. Chilli is the best, in my opinion, after the 3rd day. Love your channel

[@Gporter34]

I love that chili is so versatile! I don't know two people who eat their chili the same way lol. Sometimes I like grilled cheese with mine and sometimes I like it over rice. But it's always a good time for chili

[@thesonhaslife]

Ty for all you do . God bless you and all the folks here as well . 🙏❤️✝️

[@loripretti843]

I love chili just the way you made it!!! But I've never put jalapeños in it!!! I'm going to have to try it that way!!! God Bless Us All!!!

[@lindaortega1443]

Beautiful message today. The chili looks delicious. Just right at the end of the scripture reading and before you went back to the chili, your voice became so soothing. Almost like a mom or grandma would speak to a beloved child. It made me feel like you truly care about all people. Thanks. I appreciate that. God bless you and your family.

[@JudgeGilbert]

Nice comment how are you doing today

[@gaylepowers3981]

Lord, I agree with this prayer. You offer your spirit to all who seek it. Teach us to keep seeking as you pour your spirit into those who are seeking.🤟

[@janetstraw191]

I just use packets of chili seasoning for the spices. It doesn’t seem to matter which brand - they all are good!🙋‍♀️🥰

[@cretethemoonman]

I am not a religious person, despite growing up in a very conservative, traditional, Christian household. Even so, there's no denying your love of cooking and your appreciation for a simple life and understanding of the average household's need to have easy, cheap meals that aren't bad for you and taste good! I also appreciate just how much you love your faith, even if I do not walk down the same spiritual road you do. You always seem to use those aspects of the Christian faith and belief in God to help others and uplift your audience, and I really respect that. Thanks for your videos, I love your recipes, and don't change!

[@moonbeam0439]

Never used vinegar in chili, I'm going to try it.

[@amandagilliams5306]

Thank you for reminding me of God through your recipes…love your chili! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Dan-yw9sg]

Thank you Ms Becky for the recipe and the message! I love chili! I have a certain list of what I put in the basic recipe. Then I might add things that need to used up out of the fridge or getting ripe. So yes Ma’am it tends to change flavor and consistency with each pot! But I learn what works and what doesn’t. God bless you!

[@edporter9355]

Hi Becky, your plans for a cold winter day is perfect ! Wish I had that smell-a-vision you mentioned in another video. Absolutely yummy. Bless you for all that you do in your witness for the Lord. Stay warm and cozy, enjoy that wonderful pot of chili . Michigan

[@michaelshadwick3487]

Because you already have so many wonderful and well deserved comments, let me simply say "Thanks" for having the ingredient list in the description.. knowing that it's a springboard to personal options. And because there was a commercial interruption (lol) I needed to edit, just to add: Bless God for you, Ms Becky!

[@suegeorge998]

Becky you look just fine to me. You don't need to lessen the calories. I can't wait to try this recipe, since your cream of broccoli soup turned out so well. I prefer to use canned tomatoes but I'm overruled here, so I use tomato juice. This winter I need to make and can more chili, so I'm going to put both in. I like to can soups and stews in the winter because it helps to heat the house. I'm in Wisconsin.

[@suzybailey-koubti8342]

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord for revival! ✝️🙏🏼❤️

[@Melancholy1966]

I put on a crock pot of chili this morning then I came across your video. I never heard of adding sugar and vinegar to chili but I went in the kitchen and stirred some into mine. I can hardly wait to see how it turns out. Thanks for the tips!

[@skismosis]

ok as a single man you know i like to make chili at least once a week, it is tasty, nutritious, and usually simple enough for me to make lol, gonna try this recipe, my version of chili takes about 2 hours but i add the kitchen sink in my chili, LOL , thank you.

[@sandysmith8567]

My kids hated beans when they were little, so I mixed refried beans in with the browned hamburger/onion (chopped really fine) and then added the tomato juice. They never knew :)

[@lyncrawford3349]

Becky, follow you on Facebook everyday. Really enjoy your Bible verses. Usually comment with just Amen because I watch your videos on KZbin either that night or the next. Lovely looking chilli. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@corinnecardoza3521]

I have learned so much watching you Beckie. Even the simplest instruction that some people have known for years aren't lost on me. I now cook or bake or prepare most everything from scratch. Sauces, roos, rice dishes, crusts, broth, pretty much everything. I've gained the desire and confidence to do this from regularly watching your channel. I also appreciate your faithfulness to speak about our Savior and the Word of God 🙌🏻❤️

[@felicitymcconville4322]

I had a good chuckle when you said my chilli is never the same. My spaghetti sauce is never the same either. My son always asks how l make it and all l can do is give him the basics. I will definitely try your chilli recipe, it sounds delicious 😋

[@jacquelyncanada9785]

Hello Becky. Your chili looks very tasty. Love all the beans you put in. God bless💫

[@thejourney1369]

I make two batches when I make it. One with beans for my husband and one without beans for me and my son. I also use a can of Rotel in mine. We serve ours with Fritos scoops. I just realized I haven’t made chili this winter. As soon as I’m feeling better, I’m going to make some. Amen to what you said! Revival can happen anywhere. And we desperately need it.

[@kathywolf6925]

Becky.. love the recipe and I continue to pray for your channel . It one of the very few that we can openly speak of God "s love for us. I pray for Miss Vanissa that she is better and there was someone else to and I pray for her as I do for the whole channel God Bless Love from Kansas🥰

[@lindastansbury2067]

This looks delicious, I love the recipe and I'd like to try it but I'm a Texan so I'll be leaving the beans out. You're such a joy to watch and I'm especially grateful for all of the simple, old recipes that I grew up eating and the filling, budget dishes you make.

[@carolb3946]

You just make me smile! Loving the Lord and cooking yummy things is an awfully terrific connection! :) And, yes! The new Revival of the Holy Spirit has been so satisfying lately. And, we get to hear about it on Fox news!! (I don't watch others so that I remain without contempt!!)

[@carolebrown7589]

You have been blessed with many gifts. Your gentle loving spirit kindness and COOKING! You are also an inspiration,thank you for your help

[@revoakes8984]

I like to add some green beans and some fresh or frozen corn, and sometimes if I have them ready some finely chopped or shredded carrots. Not tolerating hot stuff (like pepper and jalapeno peppers) well, I also add some cumin and some regular or smoked paprika to liven the flavor. I call my veggied-up version "chili stew" and have it often, so easy and tasty, as well as very nutritious. Next batch I'll add some vinegar!

[@timyoder2541]

As usual, Becky, love your video. I always did some sugar with tomatoes, but I've never tried the vinegar, so it's on my list for the next pot. One thing I add that gives it a different touch is about a tsp of cinnamon nice flavor!

[@lisaforte1575]

I even made a chili recipe once that called for dark chocolate! It was yummy!

[@Dayrile]

helpful tips for chili: to help thicken it consider halving a few potatos and letting them simmer in with the chili from the start. you can pull them out and serve separately if desired or leave them in. another good thickening idea is to make a rue in with the ground meat before adding in the rest of the ingredients. also, ilike a bit of cumin in my chili. another really good starter for chili is one of those 15 bean soup kits. for those who want to add a bit more liquid, consider a meat based broth.

[@jackiec9285]

It thickens up with 1 or 2 slices of whole wheat bread too. You just tear the bread in pieces and pour some of the chili on top and mash it up

[@dragonflyhill5748]

I check on you from time to time. I enjoy the cooking show and encouragement. I lost my husband to cancer in July. I am so proud of how you are doing.

[@bridgetmarden7224]

Looks good! I also remember eating a peanut butter sandwich with chili at school when they served it for lunch. I still do that! Nothing better than a pot of chili anyway its made.

[@dorothygillespie4466]

Me, too! But my husband thinks a peanut butter sandwich with chili or spaghetti is gross!! I think the creamy peanut butter makes the sauce taste even better!!👌👍🏻👏

[@timyoder2541]

I do too, and for the same reason, we always had it at school.

[@debbieflaherty1975]

Good memory. Our school chili meal consisted of: . Chili . Salad (it was mixed with French dressing) . A huge cinnamon roll . Milk

I like to make chili with beans in my pressure cooker. Maybe 30 minutes at high pressure, because I like how it makes the beans easier to digest for me. I love watching your videos, and how you include God in them. You are such a sweet soul.

I love chili... when I was in university my mom used to make up a huge crockpot of chili for me and freeze it in small containers. It was so convenient, and delicious. It always makes me think about my mom. I had no idea about the sugar and vinegar thing, I am going to try that.
