How to Make Amazing Chili
- Brown 1 lb of ground extra lean beef with 1 medium chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in a large pot or Dutch oven until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add 2 stalks chopped celery, 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (drained and rinsed), and 2 cups beef broth.
- Transfer to a slow cooker (or continue cooking in the pot on low) and simmer for 8-12 hours, stirring every 2-3 hours. (If using a stovetop, maintain a gentle simmer.)
- Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili fixings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, and cilantro. Pair with a crisp salad and cornbread or crusty rolls for a complete meal.
- Enjoy your delicious and warming Amazing Chili!
