Bean-Free Chili For Two image

It's hard to recipe hunt when it's just the two of you - everything seems to be tailored for families of 4 or more (or with the intention of having massive leftovers). I've begun to learn the art of cooking for 2, and with a primal outlook... beans are a no-go. This chili is my take on my Polish grandmother's recipe - it's not too spicy but very savory. This recipe gave us 2 decent-sized bowls each. Enjoy and feel free to tweak to your liking!

Time 2h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapeno peppers
1 (12 fluid ounce) can tomato juice
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
½ cup red wine

Steps:

  • Combine beef, green pepper, and onion in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir until beef is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add tomatoes, tomato juice, tomato paste, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne; mix well. Cover and cook until sauce begins to bubble gently, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour wine into the sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat until flavors combine, 2 to 3 hours. Stir every so often to prevent soup from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

I found this chili to be a bit bland. It needed more seasoning.

This chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
