Texas Style Beef Chili Recipe

Last Updated on 2020-10-15 by Linda

Guess I really should be calling this Kent-Style Beef Chili because I actually have not been to Texas to try their’s.  There is just something about Chili and Texas that make me thing connected. A Beef Chili recipe for the fussy one in your life.

I love chili, actually we all love our chili.  The heat factor however separates the men from the boys or in our home the men from Linda.  I have a wimpy palette, I love flavour but I am not a spicy gal.  Kent normally makes a jalapeno free batch for me, I know boring but necessary.

How to Make Beef Chili

Growing up chili was always made with hamburger/ground beef but Kent likes using stew beef.  A tasty alternative for sure.  He always goes “onion, green pepper and mushroom less” just for me. What that actually means is no onions, no green peppers and definitely no mushrooms.  I told you I was boring.   I told you before I am a fussy eater. This chili is for those fussy eaters in your life and trust me they will love it.
