How to Make Beanless Chili
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef and 1 lb ground chicken; cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 4 cloves garlic (minced) to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions, before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
