Kittencal's Chili, Simple and Delicous image

This is THE best recipe for chili that I have found yet. My 5 kids and husband and I all love it!! We eat it year round, not just in the fall and winter months because it's that good.

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs lean ground beef
2 medium onions, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
6 large garlic cloves, minced (the more garlic the better so don't skimp!)
2 teaspoons dried oregano (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or adjust to taste)
2 -3 tablespoons mild chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes (with juice and undrained)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 teaspoons salt, to taste (I use seasoned salt)
2 (15 ounce) cans red kidney beans, with juice
shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pot brown the ground beef with onion and green bell pepper until no longer pink; drain all fat.
  • Add in garlic, oregano and chili flakes; cook stirring until browned (about 12-15 minutes, for the best flavor the meat must be slightly browned).Add in chili powder and cumin; cook stirring for 2 minutes.
  • Add in stewed tomatoes with the juice, tomato sauce and seasoned salt; bring to a boil over medium heat stirring.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for 1-1/2 hours stirring occasionally (can simmer longer, the long the better!).
  • Stir in the beans with their liquid and continue to cook for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Ladle into bowls then top with cheddar cheese and dollup of sour cream if desired.
