Texas-style chili is a bold, hearty dish that embodies the rich flavors of Texan cuisine. This easy-to-prepare recipe combines your choice of several options of savory ground meat, our signature Lone Star Chili Seasoning, and classic ingredients for a delicious, crowd-pleasing meal. Perfect for weeknights, game days, or any time you crave authentic chili.
Brown the Meat: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and cook until browned and no longer pink, stirring often. Remove the meat, drain excess fat, and set aside.
Cook the Onions:In the same pot, add cooking oil and onions. Sauté over medium heat until translucent (about 4–5 minutes).
Combine Meat and Seasoning: Return the browned meat to the pot. Add the entire jar of Lone Star Chili Seasoning and stir until evenly incorporated. Cook for an additional 3 minutes to blend flavors.
Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans (if using) and the water to the pot. Stir well, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and Garnish: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions.
