Betty's Quick Chili Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a great warm-up for wintry days, her Quick Chili. This is chili with browned ground beef, canned beans, tomatoes, and green chilies, flavored with convenience packages, so that there is no chopping—and the chili cooks in 15 minutes with almost no clean-up!

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef
(2) 15-oz. cans kidney beans, undrained
14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
10-oz. can diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
1 ¾-oz. envelope chili seasoning mix (You may use your own blend of chili powder, cumin, and cilantro.)
1 ½ cups water
1 tablespoon instant onion soup and dip mix (You may use chopped onion and a little minced garlic.)
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese for topping

In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, brown 1 pound lean ground beef, until it is crumbly and cooked through. Drain, if needed. Add (2) 15-oz. cans undrained kidney beans, a 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes, a 10-oz. can diced tomatoes and green chiles, a 1 ¾-oz. envelope chili seasoning mix, 1 ½ cups water, and 1 tablespoon instant onion soup and dip mix. Stir mixture thoroughly. Place over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve by ladling a generous amount of chili into a bowl or mug, and top with about ¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese per serving. Provide saltine crackers to accompany this delicious chili. If you want a quick and easy great-tasting chili that is economical and leaves very little mess to clean up, this is it!!! Enjoy! --Betty :)

Why don't you wash the beef to get out some blood i don't know but i'm from the Caribbean lol.. just asking...

[bettyskitchen]

@ria8257 Washing the beef in not a custom where I live. I'm sure it would be okay, but we normally use any kind of beef in its natural form, including the blood.

[bettyskitchen]

@XANNIECHENX Bread or rice would be good!

I have to use up the last of some ground chuck. I was wondering what to make. This is quick easy and won't break the bank. I haven't made chili from scratch before but this seems easy enough. This is faster than stopping in that drive thru at the mcd's

[bettyskitchen]

@yurika975 Yes, it is very quick! I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for your nice comment!

Thanks so much for putting this together! I didn't know how to make chili and now I've got the mix bubbling on the stove. Thanks! One production point: Betty is clearly very attractive, but the light source is not the most flattering for her light complexion. You might consider a little stagecraft to maximize her presence on camera. If you get rid of the florescent light up top and the natural light from the side you could use a "soft box" behind her to the side to improve lighting.

You are very clear with your instructions which is so helpful for someone that isn't always good at cooking! Your explainations help me so much! Thank you for your video :)

My mom made home made chili tonight it's just delicious, why does chili make cold days better? It just seems to stick to your ribs and warm your insides on cold days.

@ria8257 The blood gives it flavor!

@ria8257 America isn't the same as the carribian the meat is throughly washed before it is sold here.
