Saucy Beef Chili Recipe
I have at least 3 different chili recipes that I use and they are all just slightly different. This super simple Saucy Beef Chili Recipe is easy enough for the kids to make and fast enough for making after a baseball game! Check out the rest of our easy chili recipes, too!

Down here in Southern Alabama, it doesn’t get super cold for very long. So, we have learned to eat chili at all times of the year or we may only get it once every 12 months. LOL!
I adapted this chili recipe from a Pampered Chef recipe that I acquired at a party years ago! Add this to your list of easy ground beef recipes! Don’t forget to make these quick beef recipes!
Specialty Ingredients:
In addition to the following products, this recipe calls for:
- 1 pound/package of make ahead ground beef

We like to serve our Chili over rice, with shredded cheddar and sour cream garnishments. We sometimes even throw some green onions on top if we have them.
I’m also a big fan of making this Rotel Dip with Hamburger Meat!
