A good chili has well-seasoned beef, creamy beans, and tender vegetables. A great chili, however, has all that and comes together in one pot in under an hour. This chili is one of the greats. And once you take a bite, we can guarantee you’ll agree. Not to mention, these beefy bowls are adorned with some delicious fixings: tangy hot sauce, sour cream, and melty cheddar. On the side, crispy hash brown potatoes add a golden, savory contrast to every bowl.
