Ingredients Needed:

  • 4 lb ground beef
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • ¼ cup chili powder (plus more to taste)
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground oregano
  • 2 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper (plus more to taste)
  • 4 cans (15 ounces each) kidney and pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup masa harina (or regular cornmeal)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced jalapeños (for topping)

How To Make This Beef And Bean Chili:

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large heavy pot, brown the ground beef with the minced garlic until fully cooked. Drain off most of the excess fat, leaving a small amount for flavor.
  2. Add Seasonings and Simmer: Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir well, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If the chili looks too dry, add up to 1½ cups of water.
  3. Stir in Beans and Thicken: Stir the drained beans into the chili. In a small bowl, mix the masa harina with ½ cup of water until smooth, then stir it into the chili. Let it simmer for another 10 minutes to thicken. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  4. Serve and Top: Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced jalapeños on top.

Recipe Tips

  • Drain the excess fat: After browning the beef, drain most of the fat but leave a little for flavor and moisture.
  • Keep an eye on the liquid: During simmering, if the chili looks too dry, add a bit of water to prevent it from sticking or burning.
  • Stir masa harina carefully: Make sure the masa harina is fully dissolved in water before adding to avoid clumps in your chili.
  • Adjust the seasoning: Taste the chili before serving and adjust the chili powder, salt, or cayenne pepper as needed for the perfect flavor.
  • Simmer for a rich flavor: Don’t rush the simmering time – letting the chili cook slowly will allow the flavors to fully develop.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

Storing in the Fridge: Place the chili in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezing: Allow the chili to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Reheating: Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. You may need to add a little water to loosen the chili if it’s too thick.
