Easy Texas Chili Recipe
If you’re new to Texas Chili, I bet you’re wondering, what is Texas chili? Texas chili is a type of chili that does not have beans and doesn’t use any tomato product. Yep, you read that right. It looks like a traditional chili, like our regular beef chili recipe, but instead of tomato sauce or diced tomatoes it has a roasted red pepper sauce base and it is absolutely delicious. If you’re a chili fan, but looking to switch things up a bit — it’s time to try this recipe 😏
Featured Ingredients
Peppers: we use a variety of peppers in this Texas chili recipe. We use spicier peppers like jalapeños and shishito as well as sweet bell peppers and poblano peppers. Some are roasted and used in the sauce and some are sautéed for the chili itself. Yum! Roasted red peppers: we all have a jar of roasted red peppers in the back of our pantry and now you can use them. Ground beef: we went with ground beef for this recipe because of its richness and flavor, but feel free to use a leaner protein if you’d like.

Make it spicier: If you like a spicy chili, go ahead and roast spicier peppers with the jalapeños and poblano peppers. It’s a great way to use up your roasted red peppers. It’s not only packed with protein, but it has a ton of veggies, too. Freeze half for later: Chili is a great meal to freeze for later! The longer you simmer the better it will be: If you have the time, simmer your chili ingredients together longer to really enhance all of the delicious flavors.
