This beef, potato, and pinto bean chili is a deeply satisfying meal that brings warmth to your table. Ground beef pairs beautifully with potatoes and creamy pinto beans, creating a hearty, balanced stew, perfect for cool fall and winter evenings. Serve this chili topped with sliced avocado and plenty of fresh cilantro for a bright contrast to the warm spices. It’s also lovely with a simple cabbage-lime slaw on the side for added crunch. Leftovers thicken beautifully overnight, making this an ideal make-ahead meal for busy weeks or cozy weekends at home.
