How to Make Jerky Camp Chili

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, beef broth, and chopped beef jerky to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a richer flavor. Stir occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Consider adding a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
  7. Serve hot, with your favorite chili toppings.
