One-Pot Beef & Black Bean Chili
2x the delicious portions!
- Milk
A good chili has well-seasoned meat, creamy beans, and tender vegetables. A great chili, however, has all that and comes together in one pot in under an hour–plus it’s perfect for a crowd! 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 sour cream and melty Monterey Jack. If you’ve got some on hand, why not crumble up some tortilla chips and sprinkle them on top for a crunch? This recipe is double the typical servings, providing 4 servings and 8 servings for a 2 person and 4 person box respectively.

Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Halve, peel, and dice onion. Thinly slice half the jalapeño into rounds; mince remaining jalapeño. TIP: Remove ribs and seeds first for less heat.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and minced jalapeño; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 5-7 minutes.
Add beef*, Mexican Spice Blend, and Southwest Spice Blend to pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Stir tomato paste into pot with beef mixture. Cook, stirring, until thoroughly combined, 1-2 minutes.
Add crushed tomatoes, beans and their liquid, stock concentrates, ¼ cup water (½ cup for 8 servings), salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until thickened, 8-10 minutes. Turn off heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Divide chili between bowls. Top with Monterey Jack, sour cream, and as much sliced jalapeño as you like. Serve.
