How to Make Beef And Bean Chili

2. Remove the cooked beef from the pan using a slotted spoon and set aside.
3. Add 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the saucepan. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Return the cooked beef to the saucepan.
5. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with their juice, 1 (15 ounce) can of your favorite salsa, and 1 (15 ounce) can of kidney beans (rinsed and drained).
6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
7. While simmering, stir in 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon dried basil.
8. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add cayenne pepper, black pepper, or hot sauce to taste.
