Dad’s Famous Beef Chili (Stove Top)

Best Beef Chili on Stove Top

Everyone raves about Dad’s chunky beef chili. He’s made his easy beef chili with beans and without beans and they’re both fantastic. When game day rolls around, everyone is waiting for Dad’s famous beef chili because it’s loaded with flavor, beef and beans (if you want) and it’s super easy to make. It’s his best one-pot chili recipe no one can beat because it’s the perfect, non-fussy chili recipe that always comes out great. His chili recipe ingredients are simple: ground beef, tomato sauce, fresh garlic and spices. It’s not a fancy or complicated beef chili recipe because we’ve made it so many times with our eyes closed. But after simmering the pot of chili for about 15 minutes, all the flavors come together wonderfully and every bite is rich and loaded with ground beef.

Chili Toppings are the Best!

There’s so many ways to enjoy Dad’s beef chili and when a game day or a great Super Bowl chili dish is needed, Dad fulfills his call of duty and makes a huge pot. Just having a bowl of the chili with some favorite toppings like sour cream, red onions and cheese is everyones go-to. But we’ve devoured it on chili cheese hot dogs, beef chili quesadillas and chili nachos. The possibilities for game day chili really is endless and we’ve even made chili burgers if there’s any left over. Seriously, his chili is a pot of gold and happiness. It satisfies all our cravings for chili, especially on cold days when we want something to warm us up!
