Station 7 Shift Chili

A thick, hearty chili that simmers for hours and only gets better when reheated after a call.

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef in a large pot. Drain excess fat.

  2. Add onions and garlic, cook until soft.

  3. Add all beans, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer.

  5. Simmer 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Add water if it gets too thick.

  6. Serve with sour cream, cheese, and crusty bread (try the focaccia!).

Firehouse Notes

  • Bell-proof — can pause when the bell rings
  • Bulk-ready — scales for 8 and up without fuss
  • Shift meal — works as a full shift meal
  • Drop-off friendly — travels well

Set it and forget it. This chili actually improves when you get called out mid-cook — just turn the heat to low. Doubles and triples easily. Pair with the focaccia for a complete shift meal.
