Texas Chili with Beans

February 11, 2013 by Evelyn 46 Comments

An Easy Texas Chili with Beans recipe made with turkey or beef. Some say that Texas Style Chili doesn’t have beans, but we love our Texas Chili recipe with Beans.

Our easy Texas Chili with Beans recipe is the way to enjoy this Texan comfort food without a lot of work.  There are souls out there that believe authentic Texas Chili is made without beans and tomatoes, but we beg to differ.   We make the easiest homemade Texas Chili with beans and top it with sliced jalapeƱos and longhorn cheese aka cheddar cheese.

Anytime the weather cools below 70 degrees here on the Ranch, I start craving a pot of chili or chili beans. But we don’t wish to spend the whole day in the kitchen so we use a couple of simple shortcuts.  And we don’t wish to wait to cook dry beans, we use a can or two of Ranch Style Beans.   It makes this pot Chili quick and easy.    We also have a couple of other tricks up our sleeves such as this Mix N’ Chop utensil.

 

 
We have a couple of these Mix N’ Chop’s (even bought some for our children) and use them all the time when cooking ground beef, ground chicken or ground turkey.  It makes it so much easier.
 
So pull out your slow cooker aka crockpot and get this chili started!  It’s also great for game day, it’s easy and can be doubled to feed a crowd.
 
 
Rain is in the air here at the Ranch so we have a crockpot filled Chili bubbling on the stove.   And we have a pan of homemade cornbread in the oven.

    This looks and sounds pretty good. I've never thought about putting garbanzo beans in chili. Wonder how it would taste with ground chicken? I'm not a turkey fan šŸ™‚
