Chili is one of those recipes that everyone has an opinion about. We all have our favorite recipes and secret ingredients, but at the end of the day, we’ll probably eat whatever bowl is presented in front of us. Chili is undeniably wonderful. And today’s dish is a tried-and-true favorite from the Pioneer Woman herself, Ree Drummond.

If anyone could bet on preparing a fantastic chili, it would be Ree, the queen of amazing homemade meals. Her recipe is a simple, basic chili that hits all the right notes of flavor and heartiness. We have kidney beans, pinto beans, and a whopping two pounds of ground beef. A bowl of this stuff will fill you up! However, we couldn’t blame anyone for returning for another bowl.

This is a set-it-and-forget-it recipe, with the beef cooked in the crockpot after browning on the stovetop. On high, the chili will cook in a couple of hours, but we recommend setting it to low and letting the flavors merge all day. Give The Pioneer Woman’s Chili recipe a try; it will warm you up from the inside out. Exactly what we need on these frigid winter days!
