Stovetop Chili Recipe

Zona House
Stovetop Chili is super simple and flavorful with a secret ingredient of A1 steak sauce. We love to fill our bellies with hearty chili that uses just 8 ingredients and 5 steps to make. You can also make this in your slow cooker. This is our favorite stove-top chili, ready in just 15 minutes, but it can also be made in a slow cooker crock pot. You can also easily make a double batch of this great chili.
