(Texas-style!) Load it up with all of your favorite toppings and dive in with a spoon, or let your tortilla chips do the scooping!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve included options below for making this one on the stovetop, in the Instant Pot or in the Crock-Pot. And if you&#8217;re lucky enough to have leftovers, they freeze beautifully or taste even better the next day.

Giving the meat space helps it brown properly, which adds so much flavor to the final chili.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toast the spices briefly.<\/strong> That 30 seconds of blooming makes a difference and brings out the best flavor of the spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simmer gently, not aggressively.<\/strong> A low, steady simmer keeps the beef tender. If it\u2019s bubbling hard, turn the heat down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust thickness at the end.<\/strong> Chili naturally thickens as it cools, so don\u2019t overdo it early. You can always add masa harina or extra stock near the end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2062\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/texas-chili\/?tp_image_id=92268\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot4_46.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot4_46.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot4_46-1100x1629.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot4_46-768x1138.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot4_46-1037x1536.jpg 1037w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot4_46-400x593.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-texas-chili-variations\">Texas Chili Variations<\/h2>\n\n<p>This chili is a great base recipe, so feel free to tweak it depending on your mood or what you have on hand.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Add more heat<\/strong> by adding in extra jalape\u00f1o or serrano peppers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it smokier<\/strong> by adding in chipotle powder or using fire-roasted tomatoes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add a touch of sweetness<\/strong> with a teaspoon or two of brown sugar or honey if you&#8217;d like to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it thicker and stew-like<\/strong> by adding an extra tablespoon of masa harina.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add beans<\/strong> by stirring in a can of pinto or black beans for extra protein (not traditional Texas-style, but still delicious!).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stir in a splash of beer<\/strong> in place of one cup of the beef stock.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2088\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/texas-chili\/?tp_image_id=92269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot6_87-1392x2088.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot6_87-1392x2088.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot6_87-1100x1650.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot6_87-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot6_87-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GSOTexasChili_Shot6_87-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-faq\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block is-style-open\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1768071596485\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">can i freeze this chili?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, this chili freezes great!
