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.

FAMILY FAVORITE CHILI

The name says it all...this has always been my family's favorite, even though there are a lot of shortcuts. It is simple to make, tasty and fast. What else can you ask for? To serve, I ladle it into a large bowl and garnish it with lots of shredded cheddar cheese and jalapenos. I insert tortilla chips all around the edge of the bowl for either scooping up some of the chili with (nacho-style) or eating along with the chili itself.

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs ground beef
2 (1 1/4 ounce) packages hot chili seasoning mix
1 cup water
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with jalapenos
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • When serving, garnish with shredded cheese and jalapeno slices. Serve with tortilla chips.

Tips:

  • Use a Dutch oven or large pot: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chili from burning.
  • Brown the meat in batches: This will help to prevent the meat from overcrowding and steaming, which can make it tough.
  • Don't be afraid to use a variety of beans: Different beans offer different flavors and textures, so don't be afraid to experiment.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and texture to chili. Some good options include onions, peppers, carrots, and celery.
  • Season the chili well: Chili should have a good balance of flavors, so don't be afraid to add spices and seasonings. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time: The longer the chili simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some good options include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

This classic chili recipe is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a versatile recipe that can be easily customized to your own liking. So experiment with different beans, vegetables, and spices to create a chili that is uniquely yours.
