Your sheet pan broiler method for ground beef is a game changer for me. I tried it recently with a batch of gyro meat and the results were outstanding. Easily the best gyros I've ever made at home.
I cook my butt off and have for decades. I can't make chili. Tried and gave up, a couple times. NOW, after seeing this, I got it!! No question!! Bless you, my son!!
I'm 32 now and a bit of a late starter in the "cooking at home is better" game. What started off as last year necessity just to keep the budget in a better place has turned into me investing in more cookware, finding whatever deals I can, and constantly watching cooking videos. From last year when I had friends teaching me proper cutting methods to this year where I have friends come over knowing I prepped enough that they can always get a bite to eat, my main source of food ideas comes from your channel. You show things that are easy to make, easy to understand, show the cooking process so we can reference where we are in our stages, and just make it fun. Thank you for your videos, I've used your recipes to keep people fed and happy. Rock on, keep eating those things, and thank you so much!
I've made this twice just to play around with the extras. IMHO, this is the best quick chili with beans recipe out there. The fire-roasted tomatoes, the chipotle peppers, and the broiled beef combine to form great depth of flavor. Made as written, it's a great chili. A couple of possible adjustments: (1) When making the whole recipe, 1/4 teaspoon of liquid smoke adds a whole other dimension - complex but not recognizable. Liquid smoke is not forgiving - do NOT add more or it will overwhelm. (2) I suspect a lot of people will cut this recipe in half, so the second time I made it I cut everything by 50% and then adjusted so I wouldn't have to waste a partial can of tomatoes. I think that for half recipes, using the whole can of the fire-roasted tomatoes and eliminating the diced tomatoes yields a fantastic result. If you do this, you will have to reduce the vinegar by 75% (from the original recipe) because you aren't draining the juice from the fire-roasted tomatoes. (3) Using half light and half dark kidney beans yields a prettier dish. This works fine with a half recipe because the original recipe calls for 4 cans.
Dear Mr. L., thank you for this wonderful recipe. I’m glad to report that it won First Prize at a blind test competition with over twelve entries. I’ll be sending more viewers to your channel, as I gladly reported where I learned about the recipe.
I just made this. It is stellar. I had to adjust for salt and sweetness - it was bland and bright to start - and it came out amazing. I can’t wait to try the leftovers!
Next time you make it, add some red wine while sweating the onions and garlic and let it reduce until it's at the stage to add the spices and the tomatoes. Tomatoes have alcohol-soluble flavonoid compounds that are released as the alcohol evaporates away.
Important note for non-USians! If you add 60g of chilli powder and you're in Europe, this will be INEDIBLE. In most places in Europe "chilli powder" = "100% cayenne pepper" or something of similar level of spice. American "chilli powder" is A LOT milder!
@@spacehonky6315 I made vegan lentil chili, which is delicious with REASONABLE amount of spice, which turns out not to be two heaping tablespoons of cayenne pepper (in addition to black pepper and fresh chilis also present in the recipe). 💀💀
I did this exact same thing with an enchilada recipe years ago! For Aussie's, I find "MasterFoods Mexican Chilli Powder" to be a closer approximation of the chilli powder used in American cooking vids.
Thank you for sharing your broiling method to brown ground beef. I had to brown 7 lbs of hamburger for a dinner for college students. Oh my gosh, it saved me so much time and standing at the stove! I am not adverse to cooking large amounts of ground meat anymore thanks to you. ❤
a little hack I do in my chili is adding the cans of Busch's kidney beans and one small can of Busch's original baked beans with its juice. The baked beans add that sugar content to balance out the heat/acidity. Brown sugar obviously works too, but I like the subtle baked beans flavor it adds and I always have a can of baked beans in the pantry.
Made your chili yesterday, and all I can say is WOW --- it was fabulous! Family and friends were ecstatic, and couldn't get over the flavors!! Awesome Recipe 👌 --- thanks for sharing!!!
The canned chipotle is a perfect ingredient - so much flavor! Toasting the spices in oil is also terrific - like making a curry. The spices themselves will act as a thickener.
I just made a big pot of BOMB ass chili the other day! Pretty similar to this, but after sauteing, I added a bottle of good beer, two cans of diced green chilis, and about 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Plus 2 cans kidney beans, 2 cans black beans, and 1 bag frozen corn. Then I made some cornbread muffins, smeared them with some butter and honey, and let them sort of nestle into the chili to soak up the juice. Spectacular.
The finish seasoning part was great. I know that's a challenge for me sometime, not really knowing what to add to improve or mellow the flavors. Thanks for that.
Made it and not only will it last multiple days, it tastes great! Today I used it for chili dogs and tomorrow I’ll do the same thing, just eat it in a bowl with cornbread, or both
I've been making rice & beef mixed together, & adding Sam's Club version of Better Than Bullion, think it's called "Beef Base". After they're both cooked & I am mixing the two together is when I add in a tablespoon of the concentrated bullion, it is a simple easy meal for my dogs, & then I add fried garlic, onions & peppers (home fries if I have leftover potroast potatoes) for the humans. I've been told it is like eating soup without all the wet. Next time I need to do your sheet tray ground beef.
I love the simplicity of this recipe. I just made it and it works great. Giving us a lower estimate for seasoning levels really helps me gauge if I want to add more salt/sugar/etc.
There were some great ideas here. I like to add corn and black beans to my chili as well as the kidney beans. I'll try it with a touch of brown sugar next time, Thanks!
I loved your 30-minute spag recipe (I actually just bought the ingredients to make it tonight), and this one looks like another to add to my go-to list. Thanks for these quick-cook recipes! Not only are they great as-is, but there's so much room to try something different to "make it my own". Although that usually just means loading it up with way more hot sauce, lol.
Broiling the meat in the oven was a great idea. I use it now when making chili. But instead of all 80/20 ground chuck, I use 50/50 beef and lamb. My friends and especially my wife, love it.
The splatter disappears in the super hot oven. I only need to clean the oven like once a years. And most ovens have a clean cycle that just burns anything up. We're not talking big splatters when it comes to just making chopmeat. When I do get some kind of mishap from other things I just scrape it off with a small BBQ type scraper that I keep at the sink for my iron pans. The splatter on the stove is no big deal, it's that it gets on your clothes and the floor too. @@tsubadaikhan6332 @SandstormGT
Made this for dinner last night (There’s enough for my husband and I to have leftovers for a week!) It’s delicious! Thank you for your awesome recipe ❤
I recently started adding a good quality sausage. I’ve done it with the last two batches in my 7-1/4 quart Dutch oven and it’s been fantastic. People can’t figure out why it’s better. Also I mix three different types of beans, black beans are nice. BTB also makes a chipotle bullion that I’ve started using. Lastly, a finely chopped jalapeño or two is a nice addition. Quick tip, put chili over rice if it’s too hot or you need to make it stretch.
I've never had chili with rice, but my mother would put it over spaghetti to make it stretch. I use one pound of mild Italian sausage with two pounds of ground beef for my own chili. It never occurred to me to add oyster crackers, but I make a good corn bread. My father thinks I use pudding or cake mix in addition to corn meal to make it moist.
@@lane2063 usually I cook the Mac and then add it to the chili and let it cook for a bit, but I've also just poured it in dry, but then I add extra water so it has enough to soak up. It works fine either way. I never just pour chili over cooked Mac though, I want it to cook together for a while at least, the same as with pasta and sauce.
I absolutely will try your pan method for the minced meat (only I use a salamander -- in Sweden we abandoned gas more than half a century ago, it's now all electric). I also noticed that much of the spices are already in my homemade ketchup, and for beans, I've always used Heinz baked beans. This will be interesting, thank you muchly!
What are your thoughts on adding a little baking soda to the ground beef before cooking? For me, one of the things that differentiates a quick chili and a slow cooked chili is how much the ground beef softens and breaks apart. The beef in a quick chili can sometimes be a little too chewy.
I tried the sheet pan under the broiler, and it worked very well. I'll use it to brown ground meat anytime it is called for. I also use BTB for a good beefy flavor in chili, and also some chocolate and decaf coffee. Also a little Embasa chipotle sauce from the chilis. Gives nice depth of flavor. For heat, just a few drops of the dangerous Dave's Insanity sauce. Thanks, Bri!
Thank you for doing a bean test! My hubs is entering a chili contest at work and I wanted to know which is the best beans to use 😊 now I know! Thank you sir!
I’m so glad you took your last taste from the wooden spoon and then back into the pot. 😂. Us home cooks all do this. Good to see a video showing reality. And before you haters complain, the boiling heat of the chili will kill any germs. 😊
Just made this. Had to change a couple of ingredients as can't get them in UK. It's amazing! Though it makes about 12 portions as I'll have it with a side. Great recipe, my partner said it's the best chilli I've ever made. Thanks for another easy recipe that tastes sooo good!
Another dope vid Bri! Loved the blind test of beans, this kinda thing is super helpful and a lot of us here already trust your recipes, we’d definitely trust your analysis of some of your ingredients too :) also the suck my butt comment at the end absolutely slayed me😂😂😂
very good!!!! Yesterday I made it, divided the quantity, added some barila tomato sauces that I had at home. one adapted but, they were all spices, everyone at dinner loved it.
I've always had a hard time with chili with no peppers. Red/Green bells, jalapeno, etc. Chili needs SOME peps, and it boosts not only volume but veg content too, and adds SO much more flavour!
I grow 20+ varieties in my garden, so I always have fun with the flavor combos. I personally add Carolina Reapers if it’s just me, but if others are eating, I dial it down. 😅
Wow, this looks good. I am going to make that soon because ground beef is on sale this week! I will delete the sugar, beans and most of the tomatoes from the recipe and cutting it down to serve one. Already looking forward to it!
I love one pot meals and chili is by far my favorite! Good choice with the peeled tomatoes. Nothing ruins chili more than little curls of skin in the pot! 😆 We also top ours with a bit of raw onion with the cheese.
You must be from NY, a butcher in NJ asked me where in NY I was from when I asked for chopmeat. LI native here, I thought everyone called it that, lol!
Hi Brian, love all your stuff. I think I’ve watched most of it, and made probably 50% and it’s always spectacular. I’ve never commented before, but the bean taste test in this one blew my mind … up til now I have never even considered canned beans, etc. in the flavor profile for what I was cooking. For this recipe I bought the beans I would regularly buy as well as the Bush’s (which I have never bought before) and did a taste test of my own. Bush tastes way better! And the chili is fantastic! Thanks again, keep up the good work!!
Chipotle chilis in adobo have become my new favorite secret ingredient in salsas, chilis, and dips over the last year. Sooo much good flavor and heat, along with some acidity.
I made this last night, but instead of placing the sheet pan under the broiler, I lined the sheet pan with parchment and transferred the beef slab to the Traeger. It worked really well.
This was my very first big cooking project and it came out pretty great for how scuffed out kitchen was. I've never cut an onion or garlic before and I had no measuring cups or spoons so the flavors ended up confusing, but it was still very good! Thanks for a simple recipe
ONLY 2 differences in my Go-to recipe. I use a mix of beef 🐮 and sausage🐷.(2:1) and I like to brown it WITH onions 🧅, peppers 🫑, & garlic 🧄...to infuse flavors. As for the second difference, I use an assortment of bean types🫘. Ranch style, black, Lt red, & dark red kidney beans. The variety adds to the body of the chili as a whole. I don't see any benefits to the broiler for the meats, and it's hard to do both beef and sausage at the same time, with veggies. A large skillet on the stovetop next to my big chilli pot (with my tomato and beans), can cook at the same time giving you the 30 minute result. ALSO in the chili pot, I start with tomato paste and seasonings/spices to dry roast them a bit first before adding the diced & sauced tomatoes 🍅 and the beans 🫘. Everything else is great.
Right on! Chili is supposed to be a "Down-Home" economical pot of good chow that feeds a crew for 2 nights! I can't get with the recipes that call for $30 of Prime Chuck Roast.
Also I feel like you tried to imitate Weismann with your bean tasting jingle but it just came off awkward and unnatural. Stick to your own style, it works.
I am a decades long chilihead and I am skeptical, so I will have to give this a try. Your ingredients are almost right (no beans for me), so we shall see. Thanks for posting! Subscribed.
Another dope recipe. B-man's recipes are the only ones I even entertain cooking as written and they're always stellar. Just slammed two giant bowls of this magic.
I've been making your DOPE CHILI - Cliff's Notes Variation, at least once a month for ages now. It's a HUGE HIT here. I think it's chiles in adobe and the cocoa combo intrigue that plays so well. I can't wait to try this version too! Thanks you guys!
I make chili con carne on a regular basis, given it's my favourite dish. I loved the solution for pre-cooking the beef in the oven. Lastly, for plating I would recommend to try some nachos or rice as a base and instead of the plain onoin, try pico de gallo, or only the cilantro, that note gives the biggest punch with every bite it accomponies. And of course a drizze of freshly squeeze lime juice.
The perfect winter comfort food and one that I enjoy cooking. Its not too different from how I make mine at home or the soup kitchen. I double the chipotle and use some liquid smoke in mine, as well as use leaner beef.
I always have a couple pounds of chilis in ziplock in the freezer that I've hit with the food processor. At least 3/4 of my meals are southwesty and I'm always reaching for a few. Makes quick chili.
Day one was super heavy on chili powder/paprika even with an extra hour of simmering. Sometimes I wonder about B’s ability to taste those spices. Day two they melded into the background and it tasted as probably intended. I might play with a sweeter paprika if I try this again. Regardless there is technique in this video that make- cookings absolutely worth your while.
Recipe looks amazing, 100% trying it out. The only think I'd add to everything is some diced raw jalapeños at the end with the other garnishes. They give it a nice spice and crunch which, IMO, complements the explosion of flavours really well. Lets eat this thing!!
Your sheet pan broiler method for ground beef is a game changer for me. I tried it recently with a batch of gyro meat and the results were outstanding. Easily the best gyros I've ever made at home.
More Maillard reaction is always better!
Right? I was just gonna leave a comment to that effect. It's life changing. Leave it to Bri.
If it's not spinning then it's not gyro...
So why do you throw away all the juices and the bits stuck to the sheet?@@MotivatingPhilms
Does it splatter a lot in the oven?
This won me a chili cook off competition. Thanks Brian!

very good!!!! Yesterday I made it, divided the quantity, added some barila tomato sauces that I had at home. one adapted but, they were all spices, everyone at dinner loved it.
I've always had a hard time with chili with no peppers. Red/Green bells, jalapeno, etc. Chili needs SOME peps, and it boosts not only volume but veg content too, and adds SO much more flavour!
I like mine with carrots, peppers, and celery. Easiest way to get your veggies in!
I grow 20+ varieties in my garden, so I always have fun with the flavor combos.
I personally add Carolina Reapers if it’s just me, but if others are eating, I dial it down. 😅
Yes! More veggies please!
@@TwiinStar1224 we call that "salad".

Wow, this looks good. I am going to make that soon because ground beef is on sale this week! I will delete the sugar, beans and most of the tomatoes from the recipe and cutting it down to serve one. Already looking forward to it!
I was just watching your older chili video last night, it's like UA-cam read my mind
I love one pot meals and chili is by far my favorite! Good choice with the peeled tomatoes. Nothing ruins chili more than little curls of skin in the pot! 😆
We also top ours with a bit of raw onion with the cheese.
You must be from NY, a butcher in NJ asked me where in NY I was from when I asked for chopmeat. LI native here, I thought everyone called it that, lol!
Looks great! I appreciate the non-bean chili plug. I lived in Texas for 2 years and have really appreciated that style of chili.
Hi Brian, love all your stuff. I think I’ve watched most of it, and made probably 50% and it’s always spectacular. I’ve never commented before, but the bean taste test in this one blew my mind … up til now I have never even considered canned beans, etc. in the flavor profile for what I was cooking. For this recipe I bought the beans I would regularly buy as well as the Bush’s (which I have never bought before) and did a taste test of my own. Bush tastes way better! And the chili is fantastic! Thanks again, keep up the good work!!
Looks real tasty! 😋 I like my chili a little thinner in the bowl, so I would add some tomato juice.
Spicy V8 is great for this.
Chipotle chilis in adobo have become my new favorite secret ingredient in salsas, chilis, and dips over the last year. Sooo much good flavor and heat, along with some acidity.
Suggestion! Try arroz con leche! Much support from Colombia🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
lol Bush’s is the only brand I can actually buy where I’m at, so I’m kinda glad it won in the Bean Tasting
Dude I literally put your OG chili in the oven 5 minutes ago I'm not even kidding. 🤣
I made this last night, but instead of placing the sheet pan under the broiler, I lined the sheet pan with parchment and transferred the beef slab to the Traeger. It worked really well.
As a 5th generation Texan, this looks absolutely incredible. Yes, some of us put beans in our chili. ;)
This was my very first big cooking project and it came out pretty great for how scuffed out kitchen was. I've never cut an onion or garlic before and I had no measuring cups or spoons so the flavors ended up confusing, but it was still very good! Thanks for a simple recipe
That's not much cheese.
Made this cooking the ground beef in a skillet and again browning in the broiler. Broiler is way better - brilliant!!
ONLY 2 differences in my Go-to recipe. I use a mix of beef 🐮 and sausage🐷.(2:1) and I like to brown it WITH onions 🧅, peppers 🫑, & garlic 🧄...to infuse flavors. As for the second difference, I use an assortment of bean types🫘. Ranch style, black, Lt red, & dark red kidney beans. The variety adds to the body of the chili as a whole. I don't see any benefits to the broiler for the meats, and it's hard to do both beef and sausage at the same time, with veggies. A large skillet on the stovetop next to my big chilli pot (with my tomato and beans), can cook at the same time giving you the 30 minute result. ALSO in the chili pot, I start with tomato paste and seasonings/spices to dry roast them a bit first before adding the diced & sauced tomatoes 🍅 and the beans 🫘. Everything else is great.
Right on! Chili is supposed to be a "Down-Home" economical pot of good chow that feeds a crew for 2 nights! I can't get with the recipes that call for $30 of Prime Chuck Roast.
Hey Bri! Missing the "Hey What's up?" and "Let's eat this thing!"
Like a fine cigar, chili is a very personal thing for people. It’ll take almost anything you choose to throw at it and come out delish!
*beef in oven to prevent beef splatter*
*tomato volcano anyway*
come on, Bri
So no splatter on the stove from the beef - instead the splatter is in the oven which is much harder to clean. :)
Awesome video. Have you ever tried grated onion for quick recipes. Softens quickly and disappears into the dish.
what happened the the "hey wassup" i thought it was a one off but seems to have gone entirely
Same with "let's eat this thiiiiing". Maybe doesn't want to be gimmicky, but I dunno, personal catchphrases aren't usually bad are they?
I miss "Let's eat this thaaang!”
My fav way to eat chilly is gumbo style, ladle in the chilly over a nice chunk of cornbread.
Also I feel like you tried to imitate Weismann with your bean tasting jingle but it just came off awkward and unnatural. Stick to your own style, it works.
This is seriously good! And is even better after the flavors blend in the fridge for a couple of days. This one has earned a spot in my recipe folder.
thanks for the recipe. I like to add a 2-4 cube of dark chocolate (60%+) to enrich the creaminess.
I am a decades long chilihead and I am skeptical, so I will have to give this a try. Your ingredients are almost right (no beans for me), so we shall see. Thanks for posting! Subscribed.
WOW..I have always been proud of my chili...but these changes esp the beef broth are a game changer!!
Gotta say, the amount of sour cream and cheese you added made my heart so happy.
Another dope recipe. B-man's recipes are the only ones I even entertain cooking as written and they're always stellar. Just slammed two giant bowls of this magic.
I've been making your DOPE CHILI - Cliff's Notes Variation, at least once a month for ages now. It's a HUGE HIT here. I think it's chiles in adobe and the cocoa combo intrigue that plays so well. I can't wait to try this version too! Thanks you guys!
I make chili con carne on a regular basis, given it's my favourite dish.
I loved the solution for pre-cooking the beef in the oven.
Lastly, for plating I would recommend to try some nachos or rice as a base and instead of the plain onoin, try pico de gallo, or only the cilantro, that note gives the biggest punch with every bite it accomponies. And of course a drizze of freshly squeeze lime juice.
The perfect winter comfort food and one that I enjoy cooking. Its not too different from how I make mine at home or the soup kitchen. I double the chipotle and use some liquid smoke in mine, as well as use leaner beef.
I always have a couple pounds of chilis in ziplock in the freezer that I've hit with the food processor. At least 3/4 of my meals are southwesty and I'm always reaching for a few. Makes quick chili.
Thank you for making these videos. Everything we have tried we have loved and have add to our rotation
Day one was super heavy on chili powder/paprika even with an extra hour of simmering. Sometimes I wonder about B’s ability to taste those spices. Day two they melded into the background and it tasted as probably intended. I might play with a sweeter paprika if I try this again. Regardless there is technique in this video that make- cookings absolutely worth your while.
Looks good. I hope to make it soon. BTW, never too much cheese. That handful on the serving dish was beautiful.
The best I ever made it, thank you like always BL!
Recipe looks amazing, 100% trying it out. The only think I'd add to everything is some diced raw jalapeños at the end with the other garnishes. They give it a nice spice and crunch which, IMO, complements the explosion of flavours really well. Lets eat this thing!!
