Easy 30-minute chili

I have spent YEARS trying to find the best homemade chili recipe. After trying many recipes that claimed to be the “best” that fell short and lots of trial and error, I have finally perfected the best chili. It’s soooooo delicious and is a crowd-pleaser that will keep your boyfriend (or yourself) coming back for seconds, thirds, fourths, and leftovers. The best part? It’s an easy 30-minute chili recipe! I could not hype this recipe up enough, so let’s get to it!!

Altogether, this recipe only costs about $25-30 (if you have seasonings already on hand)!! I try and use all organic ingredients as well so this is a STEAL for how good this is for your pocket and your belly. It also feeds an entire family (around 10 people)… so my household of 2 can freeze our leftovers or eat what’s left for lunch the next day.

How to make this easy 30-minute chili:

  • Dice your onion and 3 peppers (2 bell and 1 jalepeno) and set aside

  • Mix mix mix it all together!
  • Once it returns to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
