Easy weeknight chili

This is a go-to for me when I want something comforting that doesn't take a long time.


This Easy Weeknight Chili is pretty adaptable. You can make it with what you have in the house. The key is letting it simmer for at least 30-40 minutes to let the flavors blend. I will sometimes leave it much longer, and add chicken stock, tomato sauce, or water to it so it doesn't get too thick.


Here are some additional add-ins:

  • Carrots (I actually love my chilli with carrots in it)

  • Jarred Roasted Red Peppers

  • Mushrooms

  • Frozen Corn

  • Jalapeños

  • Chipotle Powder

  • Additional Garlic

  • Mexican Oregano


You can also use whatever ground meat you prefer. I like ground turkey because I find it doesn't make it too heavy, but by all means feel free to use beef, pork, or any combination you like.

About Me

Hi!  I'm Jen Vondenbrink

Cooking is a passion passed down from both of my grandmothers to my mother and then to my sister and me.  

Throughout my career, I was always drawn back to food.  I've learned from experienced chefs, apprenticed with professional bakers, and tasted coffee with international experts.

Today I'm sharing those experiences with you by making sure that every recipe is meticulously crafted and kitchen-tested to ensure reliable, delicious results for your home kitchen.
