Classic Beef Chili

A robust, hearty chili loaded with ground beef and kidney beans. Simmered in a rich tomato base flavored with chili powder, cumin, and a hint of sugar. Perfect for a cozy night in, it’s thick, savory, and warming. Best served with a side of cornbread or topped with cheddar cheese. The flavors deepen even more the next day.
