Everybody needs a good go-to Chili recipe. There are some great recipes that take a long time that are delicious. But a quick, easy dish is good to have on hand, too.
This is basically how my mom always makes chili. It's comforting and simple. Two of my favorite things! I've added a few things to it and we really love it!
Mom's Chili
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 cans Bush's Chili Beans, Mild (don't drain)
1 regular-sized can diced tomatoes (don't drain)
1 regular-sized can tomato sauce
1 can of Rotel (don't drain)
2 packages of Chili Mix (mild)
2 Tbsp brown sugar
toppings: cheese, corn chips, green onions, sour cream, etc.
Brown beef with the chopped onion. While cooking, add the dried oregano. Drain the beef.
In a large pot, combine the beef mixture, beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, Rotel, and chili mix. Stir well and allow to cook on low for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally throughout. Halfway through, stir in the brown sugar.
Serve with all the fixings. I like to use a mixture of cheese blends, too!

Is it 2 tbsp. brown sugar? It says to stir in the brown sugar halfway through but not listed in the ingredients. This looks delicious and wanting to make it this weekend! :) thanks!
Thanks, Amanda! I've fixed it above. That's what happens when you blog late at night and watch TV at the same time! :)
Girl there is nothing better than a big bowl of Chili in the Fall! This looks amazing and cant wait to give this a try. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a wonderful week girl!
Ha no problem. I find mistakes on mine all the time! I love following your blog and have tried alot of your recipes and pinned some of them. Can't wait to try this one this weekend. Thanks! :)
This sounds great! Some friends and I are going to have a chili cook off soon!
Glad I made chili the same night otherwise I would be craving it all over again! Never have put sour cream on top. I'm totally going to try it next time.
