My daughter Maggie loves chili, and loves to help make it. I was always tweaking the recipe until the day she helped in the kitchen and it just fell into place and so we named it Maggie and Mommy's Chili.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • - dried onions
  • 1 package mild chili seasoning, divided (mccormick's is personal favorite)
  • 1 box beef broth, reduced sodium
  • 1 can 14-15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 2 cans mild chili beans
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can red beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

How To Make maggie and mommy's chili

  • Step 1
    In a measuring cup put 2 Tbsp tomato paste, 2 Tbsp of the mild chili seasoning, and enough beef broth to cover both. Using a small whisk, mix until well blended and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large pot put ground beef, dried onions to what you like, and last 2 Tbsp of chili seasoning. Cook over medium high heat. After a couple of minutes add a couple splashes of beef broth to help scrap up the beef that is sticking to the bottom of the pan. Drain off fat after meat is all brown.
  • Step 3
    Add chili beans, drained and rinsed black and red beans, tomato sauce and tomato paste mixture. Turn heat to low and simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 4
    Dish up and serve with your favorite chili toppings. We like shredded cheese and sour cream, with tortilla chips on the side.
