No-Bean Chili

Sharing is caring!

This delicious no-bean chili is loaded with ground beef, tomatoes and green chilis. It’s savory, filling and so satisifying!
This chili is loaded with so much flavor, you’ll never even miss the beans. Served with all your favorite toppings or piled on a juicy hot dog.

I have a couple other chili recipes that have beans, Roasted Poblano pepper Beef Chili and Ribeye Steak Chili. Although, this one is equally delicious without the beans. Chili is always better the next day. The flavors have all that time to mesh together. I usually have some of this in the freezer for those Summer nights when we crave a grilled hot dog with chili on top. Mmmm

How long to cook chili?

This chili is done in an hour. Although the longer you simmer chili the better it gets. It will thicken up more and the flavors will become richer.

Toppings for chili!

• Cheese
• Onions
• Sour cream
• Avocado
• Cilantro
• Fritos or tortilla chips

Can you freeze no-bean chili?

Yes, chili freezes beautifully with or without beans. Making it the perfect reason to make a large batch just to have some in the freezer.
