This recipe for Chili con Carne with Beans is a simple and easy way to make a pot of chili that uses canned roast beef in place of the usual hamburger. It’s simple, delicious, and loaded with flavor. Because this recipe uses a large number of canned ingredients, it’s on the table in about 35 minutes. The most difficult part of making this recipe is chopping the onion and mincing the garlic. Once that’s done, it’s basically a matter of sauteing the onion and garlic until tender. Then, all of the other ingredients are poured out of their cans and into the pan.
Bring it all to a boil, and after a bit of a simmer, it’s ready to serve. I’m really beginning to love these canned food meals. They’re so easy to prepare.

Yummy! I love chili con carne! This recipe looks quite delicious!
It’s one of our favorite chili recipes.
Love the idea of using all shelf-stable ingredients in this recipe. We do quite a bit of road tripping and it’s hard to keep fresh meat around for long. This is a great solution!
We were thinking that this would be great for car camping trips, too. Especially in spring and fall when the evenings are cooler.
