How to Make Amish Chili
- Brown 1 lb ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped) in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. This helps thicken the chili.
- Add 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), 1 cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for a deeper flavor. Stir occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
