Step 1
Start by combining the ground beef, chili beans, stewed tomatoes, corn, apple cider, and chili powder in a big pot. Turn the heat up to high and bring everything to a gentle simmer. Once it’s simmering, lower the heat to medium-low and let it cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together—this should take about six hours. Keep an eye on it and give it a stir now and then to prevent sticking. When it’s ready, the chili will be thick, hearty, and perfect for a spooky night.

This chili is the perfect blend of spooky fun and hearty flavor. It’s warm, comforting, and has just the right amount of spice to keep your taste buds excited. Plus, it’s great for gathering friends and family around the table on a chilly Halloween night.
How to serve
Serve with crunchy tortilla chips or warm cornbread to soak up the rich sauce. Add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of shredded cheese for a creamy contrast. A side of sliced avocado or fresh cilantro can brighten the dish and add freshness.
Storage & leftovers
Allow the chili to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to four days. You can also freeze leftovers for up to three months; just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating gently on the stove.
