How to Make Amish Chili

  1. 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.
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. This helps thicken the chili.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions (optional).
