Fiery Beef and Bean Chili

Fiery Beef and Bean Chili brings a robust heat from cayenne and layered warmth from chili powder, rounded by juicy tomatoes and sweet onions. Tender ground beef and hearty kidney beans make it richly satisfying, ideal for a cozy weeknight dinner or a game-day crowd. Top with a cool dollop of sour cream and cheddar for a creamy contrast.
