How to Make Texas Bbq Sweet Hot Chili

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, and green bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in the BBQ sauce, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 45 minutes, or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be!
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
  7. Enjoy your delicious Texas BBQ Sweet Hot Chili! Serve with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.
