Calories in Triple Chocolate Beef and Bean Chili
This 3 Bean Chili is made with a homemade chili seasoning, fresh ground beef, fire roasted tomatoes, and three types of canned beans. Great for football or a chilly fall weeknight!
Why we love this recipe
If it were up to my oldest son, we would eat homemade chili every night of the week. I have been using my homemade chili seasoning for years to make a pretty basic chili, but every once in a while I'll add a couple different elements, just to change it up a bit. This 3 Bean Chili fit the bill perfectly without too much fuss.
Some time ago I decided to try a few different beans, mostly for color variation, and spiced up my seasoning just a little to give it a bit more kick. It's been a favorite ever since.
If you like you can use a seasoning packet from the grocery store. You can call me a snob if you like, but I haven't bought one of those in over 20 years. Instead, I mix up my chili seasoning mix and keep it in a closed container in the pantry.

Expert Tips and FAQ'S
- There are many ways to change up the spices, the seasoning recipe is just a great starter! Try adding green bell peppers and diced onion, and for more heat toss in diced jalapenos.
- Serve with my delicious sweet cornbread slathered in butter and honey.
- If you prefer a yeast bread with your chili, our favorite is this Italian bread recipe.
- I drain my beans but I don't rinse them. You can rinse them if you are concerned about the added sodium.
