How to Make Kevs Chili

  1. Coarsely chop 1.5 lbs of beef chuck (or your preferred chili meat) using a food processor.
  2. High-quality meat makes a big difference! Brown the chopped beef in a large pot or Dutch oven with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper over medium-high heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Chop 1 large onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 green bell pepper, and 1 red bell pepper in a food processor.
  4. In the same pot, sauté the chopped vegetables for 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Add 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 15 oz tomato sauce, 1 (15 oz) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15 oz) can of pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 1 tbsp chili powder (Paul P. recommended), 1 tsp cumin, ½ tsp oregano, ½ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference), and 2 cups of beef broth to the pot.
  6. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  7. Transfer the chili to a slow cooker (6-quart or larger recommended) or continue cooking in the Dutch oven.
  8. Slow cook on low for 10-12 hours, or until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.
  9. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and green onions.
