8- 10 servings
Cowboy Chili
2 pounds ground beef (wild game, chunk meat, etc.)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 (10 oz.) can Rotel (we used chunky), drained
1 Rotel can water
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (16 oz) can kidney beans, drained (or your bean choice)
Green Chile Chipotle Relish (available https://kentrollins.com/shop-1 or 3 – 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped or to taste
1/3 cup chile powder
½ tsp cumin
2 tsp oregano powder
2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika
2 tsp salt
3 tsp minced garlic
1. In a large pot or 12” Dutch oven brown the hamburger over medium high heat. Season with salt and pepper or seasoning of your choice, to taste. As the meat begins to brown, stir in the onions. Continue cooking until the meat has fully browned and onions are tender. If there is a lot of excess grease, drain.
2. Stir in the Rotel, water, tomato sauce, beans, chipotle peppers or relish. Stir in the seasonings. Adjust taste, if needed.
3. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until it reaches a boil. Boil a couple minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Serve warm with cheese, onions, sour cream, etc.

I work at a middle school and we did a chili cook off. My family convinced me to make your recipe and enter it (they love your recipe and always want me to make it). So I made it and entered and won first place. So in a couple of weeks I have to work in a concession stand for two days. Our building principal asked me to make the chili so we can sell bowls of it for the event we are having since they loved the chili so much.
Howdy Kent, I am writing from Germany. Once I had a schoolmate who came from Bangor Maine. His mum used to cook a dish with baked potatoes with peanut butter. Along came a nice spicy pot of beans. Do you know this recipe ? I would like to cook it by myself but I cannot remember the correct ingredientses after 40 years. Thanks, all the best from Bavaria.
The moment you spoke about placing beans into this, I was done. Nothing else you have to say has any meaning.
This isn't chili; this is a pot of beans flavored by meat and spices. Go to Cincinnati with this faux bullshit. That's where this belongs.
Real chili will bite you in your ass and absolutely no fillers are acceptable. I'm sure you have google maps to find your way to "the chili capital of the woyld" take this shitass attempt their. I'll be in Texas, where chili is real and means something.
This recipe looks tasty. I would add more hot peppers to it
Is it the Green Chile and Chipotle Cowboy Chutney on your site that you added to this? I want to try to make it as accurate to your recipe as possible.
You’re a national treasure Kent
I used this recipe modified slightly to win 3rd place in my chili cook off 🙏 much appreciated
I just made this recipe, best spicy chilli ive ever had
Some times i make a pork chili Mostly used on rice, Burritos, and tacos! That sounds excellent to me Ken. I love the differences kinds of meat YUM 👌👌🥩🥩
Rotel! Motel! holiday inn!!! 😂
Kent you are the best chef I’ve ever watched !! Thank you !!! Funny too !
“Some of y’all are gonna put sour cream on it. Not me, I’m gonna eat it.” As someone who doesn’t like sour cream, this is my new motto for food lol
"I've even had tried some bear chili one time…don't do it folks"
I can confirm.
I love your humor. Sweet video. 💋 😘 😗
You named your stove??? I love that so much 🥰 hahahaha
My watching this video for the first time: "You hear an accent like that and you know your in safe hands"
Black bean chili is good. Lots more chili powder.
Rotella would be a bad idea.
Cooked this the other day, had the right amount of kick and was absolutely wonderful. The family loved it.
I love your videos but as a Texan cook I’m kinda disappointed, you take time to choose A grade quality meat ! So why not do the same with the spices and beans 🙂 I love the vibe though !
The “Stir in: “ part of the recipe that flashes on the screen reads 1/3 cup chilli powder, unless u want to blow them to kingdom come I’d say that’s meant to be teaspoons!
Surely no one would…
I always appreciate you , saying something positive about it Our Lord !
Wowsa! I made your chili recipe (added beer) and my husband took it to work (he works at a hospital) and had some coworkers try it. Now when I make it, I have to make extra for him to take—they are like little addicts! the battle ensues and when someone misses out, vendetta’s are born 😂. I joke they want some of my Kent Rollins Cowboy Crack.
Not in Texas pawpaw no beans
Can food is not the way to go-dry beans are better! And my grandpa had a farm all his life and hardly ever went to the store to buy anything but salt/sugar/and flower
I’ve never been happy with my chili recipe. I’m definitely trying this one. Great tips too, thanks so much. I’ll be doing mine on an induction cooktop in an enameled cast iron Dutch oven.
I love beans in chilli
God bless all Godly people with FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT and GOLDEN RULE Godliness, families, marriages, homes, parenting, morals, prayerfulness, lifestyles, churches, communities..
We must protect this man at all cost!😂
I thought you was a toad. no, really I wondered if anyone would ever find the chipotle in adobo sauce for this chili champion winning recipe. It has won on six different planets, if you would even call them planets…
We can sense his roots through the food he cooks: hearty foods with honest flavors.
Hello. I know I’m a little late to the party, but does anyone know if a 10 1/4 5 quart (4.7 liter) Dutch oven would work for this recipe? It’s all I got and I want to see if I need to alter the amounts before I end up with a big boiling mess.
any tips on the cooking process with a instant pot? TIA!
2:40 love me some beans rollins
If you wanna get a little fancy throw in some pork belly cubes. Its a nice suprised and so good. Especially if its pork belly that has been slightly burnt and carmelized. The flavor will seep into the chillfurther enchanting the chili.
In my chili i love beens and i will add Baked beans, kidney beans and chick peas
I mafe this recipe, but added a small bit of curry powder, cayenne and some corn. It was amazing.
That looks great!
Beans? Seriously?
Real chili has beans. People who say otherwise will lie about other things too. You know what you are doing. I follow a similar recipe in that I use a 2lb roast and ground beef to give the gravy a better and richer flavor. Chipotle is a must. Three kinds of beans is a must. Fresh peppers, onions, and a few other secret ingredients makes the best chili you’ve ever had.
I can't imagine draining the Rotella only to add a can of water back into it 😂 but if you like to season your dishes with water, you go right ahead
I absolutely love it!! 6 quart
Kent partner, I hope it was not polar bear liver chili. Your advice on cooking with cast iron is priceless and time tested.
You are really awesome 😎
I love chilli bc its so versatile you can literally add whatever you have to it as long as u have some kinda beans hamburger and chilli powder ur good to go… I always add a can of corn to mine
Shit recipe. Shit cook.
Made chili once, similar to this but used lamb steak (chopped up), sort of an experiment, expensive and took a pretty decent time to make but it was the best thing ever. Meat became super tender and soaked up all the flavours like a sponge.
I use mostly fresh jalapenos when making chili bu when I want o turn the heat up I use fresh habanero.
Problem is that he store I buy habanero from has two type of habanero. Weak habanero and dangerous habanero.
Weak habanero is pretty spicy (it's still habanero) but you need more of it.
Dangerous habanero makes your hands hurt after slicing them up. Like they ACTUALLY hurt (for DAYS) even if you make sure to wash off with plenty of soap and rubbing alcohol.
Also when you get a batch of the latter, you don't notice it until later when they are already in the chili and wen you get that burn you et anxious thinking "I really hope I haven't overdone it now…"
