How to Make Chili For The Whole Shop

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, corn, vegetable broth, and tomato paste. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for a deeper flavor. Stir occasionally.
  6. If the chili becomes too thick, add a little more vegetable broth.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Consider adding a squeeze of lime juice for brightness.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or chopped cilantro.

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!
