Chili! image

This is a really beefy chili, and makes a great, hearty meal on a cool evening.It's not a terribly spicy version, but if you want to turn up the heat, add some cayenne along with the other spices. I often add more seasoning at the end of the simmering time to suit whomever I'm serving. I probably get more requests to make this than anything except my gumbo. This also freezes beautifully (if you have any left!). I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 tablespoons oil
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef (chili grind, if you can get it)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/8 cup flour
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 cups beef broth
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 red bell pepper, chopped (small)
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
sour cream (optional)
green onion, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil.
  • Add the beef and brown.
  • Remove the beef, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan.
  • Add the onions, and cook, covered, over low heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Uncover, raise the heat to medium, and cook until the onions are evenly browned (but not burned).
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onions, and cook for another minute.
  • Add the browned beef, tomatoes, tomato paste, pepper, garlic, broth, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and vinegar to the onions.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, covered 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • If the chili gets too thick, you may add some water or broth to thin.
  • Taste the chili, and add more seasonings to adjust to your taste.
  • Add the bell pepper, and continue to simmer for 15 more minutes.
  • Add the beans and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Serve in heated bowls and top with sour cream and green onions, if using.
