Homemade Chili Recipe With Kidney Beans

An easy homemade chili recipe with ground beef, peppers, and kidney beans and topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese. Serve for a weekend meal with buttermilk cornbread.

Everyone seems to have a favorite homemade chili recipe and this is ours. This is a thick and hearty main dish that does not use noodles.

Although this recipe is spicy by most people’s standards, you can tame it down by using less of the peppers and spices.

When the weather turns cooler nothing tastes as good as a bowl of homemade chili topped with a spoonful of sour cream and extra shredded cheddar cheese.

Serve this chili with homemade buttermilk corn bread for a filling fall or winter meal. This cornbread is special because it won’t fall apart!
