Black Bean Beef Chili Recipe – delicious, easy-to-make, cozy stew perfect for cold Fall and Winter days!
Beef chili with black beans

Last week has been really busy for me, where my job combined with the fact that we had friends visiting and staying with us for several days created such a shortage of time, that I am extremely grateful that there exist easy dinner recipes, such as this ground beef chili recipe with black beans.

While I was cooking all the time for our guests, starting at breakfast and ending with dinner, I unsurprisingly was able to capture none of the delicious recipes I made over the course of last week. Instead, I am presenting you with this simple bowl of beef chili and black beans, which is a perfect dish if you’re tired and out of energy (which is how I feel this week) and want something simple, comforting and delicious. This chili recipe has a minimum of steps and zero complexity. Just throw ingredients in one pot, let it simmer, occasionally stirring, and you end up with a pure deliciousness.

      It’s 1 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon cumin, so it’s both. 🙂 I think I worded it that way because of the way my recipe card was formatted at the time.

    Didn’t have carrots so substituted some diced sweet potatoes. Very good flavor!

    I love this chili. I searched the Internet for healthier options and found yours. According to myfitnesspal yours totals 208 calories per serving! Without the sour cream and cheese of course. Still with out this recipe tastes amazing. Even my liked it and she is not a chili fan.
