Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef chuck, preferably coarse grind (see Cook's Note)
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
Two 15.5-ounce cans kidney beans, undrained
Sour cream, shredded Cheddar and sliced scallions, for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Top with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. Different beans offer different flavors and textures, so using a mix will create a more complex and interesting chili.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Chili is a great dish to experiment with different flavor profiles, so feel free to add in your favorite spices or herbs.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh ingredients will give your chili the best flavor, so try to use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices whenever you can.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time. The longer the chili simmers, the more time the flavors will have to meld together and develop. Aim to simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, but the longer you can simmer it, the better.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Chili is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, cheese, onions, or avocado. Choose your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Homemade chili is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
