Ingredients:

1. 3 lbs ground beef
2. 2 large onions, chopped
3. 5 cloves garlic, minced
4. 3 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained
5. 2 cans (28 oz each) diced tomatoes, undrained
6. 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
7. ¼ cup chili powder

1. 2 tablespoon ground cumin
2. 1 tablespoon paprika
3. 1 tablespoon dried oregano
4. 2 teaspoon salt
5. 1 teaspoon black pepper
6. 2 cups beef broth
7. 1 green bell pepper, chopped
8. 1 red bell pepper, chopped
9. Optional: 1-2 jalapeños, finely chopped for extra heat

Preparation:

 

Step 1: In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.

Step 2: Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the beef. Cook until the onions are translucent.

Step 3: Stir in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes with their juice, and tomato paste. Mix well.

Step 4: Add chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture to combine the spices evenly.

Step 5: Pour in the beef broth and bring the chili to a simmer.

Step 6: Add the chopped green and red bell peppers, and the jalapeños if using. Simmer the chili for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will develop.

Serving Suggestions: Serve the chili hot. It can be topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or cilantro. Accompany it with cornbread, tortilla chips, or over rice.

Tips:

1. For a less fatty chili, use lean ground beef or a mix of beef and turkey.
2. You can substitute kidney beans with other beans like black beans or pinto beans.
3. If the chili is too thick, add more beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
4. The chili can be stored in the refrigerator for several days and tastes even better the next day.
