Ingredients for Art S Chili

  • 1 pound ground chuck
  • Yellow Onion
  • Chili Beans
  • Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • Tomato Paste
  • Chili Seasoning Mix
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

How to Make Art S Chili

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground chuck and 1 large onion, chopped, and cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the beef is browned and the onions are softened (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
  2. 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), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the flavors have melded and the chili has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
