How to Make All American County Fair Prize Winning Chili

1. Brown the ground beef in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
2. Add the onions, bell peppers, and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the chili powder, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
4. Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, beef broth, and kidney beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 3 hours, or up to 6 hours for a deeper flavor. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes!
5. Stir in the corn during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Before serving, you can remove a portion for immediate consumption and freeze the remainder in individual freezer bags.
7. Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili fixings like shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, bread, and nacho chips.
