There's nothing better on a cold winter day than sitting down to a bowl of hot and spicy chili. And although many of us have gotten used to making our chili in the slow cooker, there is something nice about a simmering pot of comforting chili on the stovetop. You also have a bit more control over the dish, giving it a stir once in a while and making sure the meat isn't sticking to the bottom of the pan. This simple recipe for stovetop beef chili has a lot of flavor since the onions and ground beef are cooked together creating the base of the dish. The beef absorbs some of the onion flavors, and the liquid from the onions helps keep the beef moist and tender. This easy version of chili is hearty and filling, and nourishing too. It is also economical as it stretches a pound of ground beef to feed six people. Serve with a nice cold beer for the adults and milk for the kids.
