Instructions

  1. Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain and return to skillet.
  2. Stir in soup mix, chili powder, beans, chili sauce, and 1 ½ cups water. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.

Notes

  • If you like a soupier chili, you can add a can of stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, or a small can of tomato paste mixed with beef or chicken broth to add more liquid to the recipe.
  • You can swap out pinto beans for chili beans, kidney beans, or black beans.
  • If you prefer a no-bean chili, try Texas Chili or Beef and Beer Chili – these chili recipes have heartier ingredients, so the beans will not be missed.
  • If you want more substance to your cowboy chili, dice up some green bell peppers, hatch chiles, or fire-roasted green chiles.
  • Add some cayenne pepper for an extra kick of heat.
