My friends, let me tell you how amazingly quick and easy this 15-minute chili recipe is.

I was in the midst of filling up my prepared muffin pans with the sweet corn muffins batter I was baking this afternoon when G walked in and commented, “Chili would be perfect with that”. I smiled my agreement, placed the cornbread in the oven to bake, set the timer for 20 minutes, went upstairs to my room, and got on Facebook to while the time.

I heard the oven timer ping twenty minutes later, immediately raced downstairs to the kitchen to check on my muffins and found G ladling chili into individual bowls. In the short time I was leisurely checking on friends’ statuses and updates on FB, he had a hefty pot of this 15-minute chili up and ready.

If you’re looking for a dish that’s ready in minutes but packs big flavor, this hearty 15-minute chili is it! Chock-full of beef, beans, and tomatoes, it’s the ultimate winter comfort food!

Serve a big bowlful with corn muffins and tossed salad for a simple yet satisfying dinner option the whole family is sure to love.  You can jazz up your bowl with crisp-fried tortilla strips, sour cream, shredded cheese and green onions for extra layers of yum. This is totally optional but highly recommended. Enjoy!

    Hello Ms. Lalaine, I am from PI, would like to ask an alternative for salsa? Or is it fine without the salsa?
    Thank you in advance

      You can swap the salsa with crushed tomatoes and just add more chili powder 🙂
