A cup of chili is always a pleasant way to warm up on a cold day. This one has a combination of budget-friendly chuck steak and brats in a spicy broth. I like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream. —Betsy King, Duluth, Minnesota

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless beef chuck steak (1 pound), cubed
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 pound uncooked bratwurst links, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes with mild green chiles, undrained
  • 2 cans (16 ounces each) hot chili beans, undrained

  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Sour cream, optional

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, brown steak in 1 tablespoon oil. Remove and keep warm.
