There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of chili on a crisp fall day with football on in the background. I love the classic ground beef chili, but whenever we have steak left over, I will always use it in place of ground beef. If I’m using a crockpot, I love to sauté the steak with the veggies before I throw them in with the rest of the ingredients. If cooking on the stove, sauté the steak and veggies, add remaining ingredients and simmer over low heat for an hour! Perfect for a family dinner, perfect for football, perfect for a chilly night…perfect for anytime.
How To
Saute onion and jalapeno, then add in the steak and saute more. If using uncooked steak, saute until cooked before you add in the garlic! Then dump in the rest of the ingredients either in the same pot you sauteed in, or in a crockpot!
This steak that I am using up above has seasoning on it since it is leftover… it adds even more flavor!

- Add in the cooked or uncooked steak. If cooked, saute for 2 minutes until warm. If uncooked, saute until the steak is browned.
- Add in the garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- If you are cooking the chili on the stove, now you can dump the rest of the ingredients in: Kidney Beans, Fire Roasted Tomatoes, Water, Chili Powder, Cumin, Salt, Bouillon Cube and Pepper. Bring to a low boil, then turn to low and cover for 1 hour.
- If you are cooking the chili in a crockpot, dump the steak, onion, jalapeno and garlic into a crockpot and then add in the rest of the ingredients-: Kidney Beans, Fire Roasted Tomatoes, Water, Chili Powder, Cumin, Salt, Bouillon Cube and Pepper. Cover on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours.
- Use flour to thicken if necessary*. Top with fresh cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, sour cream, etc. You can store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy:)
Notes
- If chili is too thin, add in some flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the chili has a thicker consistency.
