How to Make Chipotle Chili Con Carne
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crumbled. Drain off excess grease, reserving 1 tablespoon.
- Sauté 1 medium onion, 1 green bell pepper, and 2 cloves garlic (minced) in the reserved tablespoon of grease for about 10 minutes, until softened.
- Add the browned beef back to the Dutch oven.
- Stir in 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor. Stir occasionally.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or chopped cilantro.
