Easy One Pot Chorizo Chili

by Happy Stirring
Jump to Recipe

This easy one pot chorizo chili is perfect for the cold winter nights. With this delicious warm bowl of chili in your hands, and a fire burning in the fire place, you’ll barely remember that it’s only 20 degrees out, right? Well…at least I can dream. And trust me, this chili really is a dream. A delicious saucy chili packed with vegetables, mixed with the spicy savory chorizo.

One Pot Chorizo Chili Take Two

This is another one of those recipes I posted when I first started Happy Stirring. And after a few years and many many one pot chorizo chili nights since then, my recipe has changed. And I think it’s for the better. This chili is something I make fairly often in the winter months and while my recipe (and my photography) has evolved in the last two years, I figured this recipe was next up on the re-shoot / re-write list. So here we are!

One of the things I learned in the last two years? Sometimes something more simple is better than super fancy ingredients. Plus it’s more accessible! Most of the time if I see a recipe that calls for something I don’t really want to go out of my way to get, I end up not making it. Don’t get me wrong I will still be experimenting, but sometimes, something simple and easy can be the best bet.

So I changed up some of the ingredients over the years. Whether it be because I forgot to go buy more (the bourbon) or the meat didn’t thaw…because I left it in the freezer instead of taking it out (the ground beef.) So in those instances, the show must go on, and the recipe gets changed. I mean the last time I made this recipe, I freaking forgot to add the beans in until the very end! Thus changing the recipe again, but wanna know what also happened? It was the best chili I had ever made!

It was so good that Phil ended up taking all the leftovers home with him the next day for lunch. Don’t worry next time I make this one pot chorizo chili the leftovers are all mine!
