What You Need for the BEST Texas Roadhouse Chili Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (I use 90% lean)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 yellow or white onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoon chili powder (I use this one)
  • 2 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 (15 ounces) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cup bone broth, or beef/chicken/veggie broth
  • 1 (15 ounces) cans red kidney beans, sub black beans if preferred (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 (8oz) tomato sauce

Chili Toppings

  • 1/4 cup jalapenos, sliced and seeded
  • sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
  • tortilla chips
  • avocado, sliced

How to Make the BEST Texas Roadhouse Chili

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Add in the onions and garlic. Cook until garlic is fragrant and onions are transluscent, about 4 minutes.
  2. Stir in the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Stir the meat until it is browned, about 6 minutes.
  3. Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, brown sugar, pepper, salt, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until combined. Then add the crushed tomatoes, broth, kidney beans, and tomato sauce. Stir again.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the chili to simmer (uncovered) for about 25 minutes. Don’t forget to keep stirring to avoid burning.
  5. Turn off the heat and remove the pot from the burner. Allow the chili to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This Texas Roadhouse Chili is best served with shredded cheese, tortilla chips, green onions, sour cream, and avocado slices. ENJOY!
