Firehouse Chili is the type of Chili that is absolutely perfect for these cool Fall days! It's comfort food at it's best! Warm, spicy, filling, and leaves you happy! There is nothing better on a cold and blustery day than a big bowl of chili!
This hearty chili recipe is adapted by a recipe from Taste of Home. I had the opportunity to work with them on a sponsored post and I used their recipe to make this post.
If you are looking for a chili recipe that is thick, filling, and above all tastes great, then this is THE recipe for you!
Every home cook needs a stash of chili and soup recipes! My family loves having soup during the Winter so I am always trying new ones as well as serving up a few of our family favorites such as my Ultimate Crack White Chicken Chili, my Bacon Beer and Beef Chili, and my hearty Kielbasa Chili.

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. canola oil
- 4 lbs lean ground beef
- 2 medium onions chopped
- 4 16 oz. kidney beans rinsed and drained
- 3 14 ½ oz. stewed tomatoes cut up
- 1 14 ½ oz. beef broth
- 3 tbsp. chili powder
- 2 tbsp. ground coriander
- 2 tbsp. ground cumin
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 green pepper diced
Instructions
In a large Dutch oven, heat canola oil over medium heat.
Due to how many lbs of hamburger you will be using, brown the beef in batches so it all cooks evenly.
Crumble the meat throughout cooking and cook until no longer pink and then drain.
Add the ground beef back into the Dutch oven and add in the onions and green pepper and cook until they are tender.
Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat; simmer covered, until the flavors are blended for about 1 ½ hours.
Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
This makes equivalent to four quarts of chili. You can make more or less depending on how many people you will be feeding.
