Ingredients
Ground Beef - This adds a hearty, savory base to the chili, giving it richness and a satisfying texture. You can also swap it with ground turkey or chicken if you prefer.
Dark Red Kidney Beans - These beans add a meaty texture and a touch of sweetness, which balances the spiciness. They’re also packed with fiber and protein, making the chili extra filling.
Black Beans - They contribute an earthy taste and a slightly different texture. Together with the kidney beans, they make the chili more satisfying and nutritious.
Beef Broth - This is the savory liquid base that pulls everything together, giving the chili a deep, rich flavor. For an extra flavor boost, you could use beef stock instead.
Tomato Sauce - It provides the thick, classic tomatoey base for the chili and a touch of sweetness to counter the spices.
Corn - Adds a bit of natural sweetness and a pop of texture, balancing out the savory flavors while adding some color.
Onion - Sautéed with the beef, onion brings a mild, slightly sweet flavor that deepens as it cooks, forming the base of the chili’s flavor.
Chili Powder - The main spice here, chili powder brings warmth and a hint of smokiness, creating that iconic chili taste.
Paprika - Adds a mild, sweet warmth that enhances the overall flavor without being overpowering. Smoked paprika is a great choice if you want a hint of smokiness.
Would you like to save this?
Salt and Pepper - Essential seasonings that bring out the flavors of all the ingredients, making everything pop. Adjust as needed.
Cumin - A warm, earthy spice with a slightly smoky edge, it adds depth and rounds out the flavors, giving that unmistakable chili taste.
How to Make It Step-by-Step
- Sauté the Beef and Onion: Start by setting your Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker PRO to the SAUTE HIGH function. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, and cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened.
- Add the Rest of the Ingredients: Now, add the kidney beans, black beans, beef broth, tomato sauce, corn, and all the spices. Give everything a good stir to combine and ensure the spices are evenly mixed in.
- Cook on Low Heat: Close the lid and switch to SAUTE LOW. Let it cook for about 1 hour, stirring a couple of times to help the flavors meld together.
- Serve: Once done, your chili will be thick, hearty, and packed with flavor. Serve it hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or sliced green onions.
Expert Tips
- If you love a spicier chili, add more cayenne or a few dashes of hot sauce. For milder heat, you can skip the cayenne altogether. Or add chopped jalapeno peppers for a spice kick!
- Try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of brown sugar for extra depth. Both can enhance the umami in the chili.
- Add Extra Veggies- bell peppers, diced tomatoes, or even a handful of spinach can make this chili even more nutritious without much extra effort.
- If you have time, letting the chili cook even longer (up to 2 hours on low) will marry the flavors even more. I like to let is cook for a bit longer, also like to add a splash of good red wine!
Leftovers and Reheating
For leftovers, just store any extra chili in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Chili often tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen! If you’d like to freeze it, let the chili cool first, then put it in a freezer-safe container.
It’ll keep for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy it again, reheat on the stove over medium heat until warmed through. If it’s frozen, just thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.
