Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground turkey
2 onions, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 tablespoon jalapeno, finely chopped
1 (14 ounce) can Mexican-style tomatoes (like Rotel)
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked if you can find it)
1 (14 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup water
sour cream
cheddar cheese
green onion

Steps:

In a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat add the olive oil. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking up into pieces, until browned. Add the onions, bell pepper and jalapeno and cook until softened. Drain excess grease.
Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder, salt, cayenne, paprika and 1 cup water. Mix to combine.
Add the kidney beans and black beans, mix and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1-2 hours.
Serve with desired toppings.

Tips:

Choose the right chili powder: Use a good quality chili powder that is not too old. Look for a deep red color and a smoky, earthy aroma. Experiment with different brands and types of chili powder to find one that you like.
Use a variety of chiles: Don't just use one type of chile. Use a combination of different chiles, such as ancho, guajillo, and pasilla, to create a complex and flavorful chili.
Toast the spices: Toasting the spices before adding them to the chili will help to release their flavor. Toast the spices in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, until they are fragrant.
Use fresh ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chili.
Don't overcook the chili: Chili is a slow-cooked dish, but it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked chili will lose its flavor and become tough.
Let the chili rest: After cooking, let the chili rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
