Easy chili made with ground beef, and minimal ingredients.
Hey cousins! So many of you have asked me to upload a chili recipe, so I decided to share my super easy chunky chili recipe. For this recipe I use basic ingredients such as ground beef, onions, and bell peppers. I also just use store bought mild chili seasoning, mixed with seasoning salt, and black pepper to spice things up.
Once the chili is done I like to top it off with some of my favorite such as sour cream, cheese, lime wedges, and spicy peppers.
I can go on and on, but the video below pretty much sums it up

Hi, Rosie. just tuned in to watch your chili video, and, oh, boy, does that look soooo good. At present, preparing for a possible visit from hurricane Dorian, but will not let that dampen my appetite for some good chili. Thumbs Up!
HI Robin!! Thank you!! Praying that you are kept safe, and blessed . XOXO
Rosie, by the way, many congratulations on your new cookbook deal. I wish you continued success and a most watched and celebrated television cooking show some day. The stars are reaching for you.
Hi, Rosie. I am making this chili right now. I tasted it and it. Is yum! Thanks for. All you do.
Thanks!!
Hi, this is beautiful and simple. I know it smells and tastes wonderful. What is the name brand of the kidney beans that you used? I want to try a different brand kidney beans.
I can’t remember. I usually use a generic store brand when it comes to beans.
Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef? I’m trying to eliminate red meat from my diet.
Absolutely!
Rosie, I want to eat my phone watching the video. Can’t wait to make it. 🙂
