How to Make Not For Wimps Chili
- Whisk together 2 tablespoons chili powder (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat), and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove onions and set aside.
- Add 1.5 lbs ground beef (or 1.5 lbs ground turkey/vegetarian crumbles) to the pot and brown, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove the browned meat and set aside.
- Add the dry spice mixture to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add 28 ounces crushed tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce, 12 ounces beer (optional), 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles, the browned beef, and the cooked onions to the pot.
- Stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is incredibly tender. Stir occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste. (Important: Taste *before* adding salt, as canned goods can vary in saltiness.)
- Serve hot! Top with shredded cheddar cheese, crushed tortilla chips, or diced green onions for extra flavor and texture.
