Time 6h25m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 Tbsp olive oil
2 lbs lean ground beef
1 large yellow onion, (finely chopped)
3 cloves garlic, (finely minced)
2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies*
3 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (15 oz) can dark red kidney beans, (drained and rinsed)
1 (15 oz) can light red kidney beans, ( drained and rinsed)
Shredded cheddar cheese, (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large and deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion and saute 3 minutes, then add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer. Pour onions into a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker (I like this one HERE).
  • Return skillet to medium-high eat, add beef and cook stirring occasionally until beef has browned.
  • Drain most of fat from beef, leaving about 2 Tbsp in with beef (this is optional, I think it ads flavor but you can drain it all if you'd prefer). Pour browned beef into slow cooker.
  • Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cocoa powder, sugar, coriander and season mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 5 - 6 hours.
  • Stir in dark and light red kidney beans and allow to heat through, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with desired toppings.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Chili is a versatile dish that can handle a variety of flavors. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your chili the best flavor. If you can't find fresh ingredients, use frozen or canned ingredients instead.
  • Don't overcook the chili. Chili is best when it's cooked until the beans are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooking the chili will make the beans mushy and the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Let the chili rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. Letting the chili rest for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, will make it even better.

Conclusion:

Chili is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a casual meal with friends and family, or for a more formal gathering. With so many different ways to make chili, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give chili a try.
