How to Make Jamies Chilli Con Carne
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1-2 finely chopped fresh chili (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
- Add 1 pound ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- While the beef cooks, process ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil) with 1 tablespoon of their oil in a food processor until a paste forms.
- Add the sun-dried tomato paste to the pot along with 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cinnamon stick, and 2 cups water.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Remove the cinnamon stick before serving. Garnish and serve over steamed rice with your favorite toppings.
