Weeknight Beef and Kidney Bean Chili

4.6 (538 cooks rated this)

Browned ground beef, kidney beans and crushed tomatoes cook down into a thick, brick-red chili with a gentle cumin warmth. It spoons neatly into small crocks and tastes even better the next day.

Test kitchen note: Toast the chili powder and cumin in the beef fat for a full minute before adding tomatoes; raw spices taste dusty, bloomed ones taste deep.
