Beef Chili With Kidney Beans image

SOURCE INSIDE AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN I found this on the web and made some changes. Good choices for condiments include diced fresh tomatoes, diced avocado, sliced scallions, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro leaves, sour cream, and shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese. If you are a fan of spicy food, consider using a little more of the red pepper flakes or cayenne--or both. The flavor of the chili improves with age; if possible, make it a day or up to five days in advance and reheat before serving. Leftovers can be frozen for up to a month. Substitute beer or bourbon for water.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons vegetable corn oil
2 medium onions, chopped fine (about 2 cups)
1 medium red bell pepper, stemmed seeded cut 1/2-inch dice
6 medium garlic cloves, minced (about 2 TBSP)
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 lbs lean ground beef (80 %)
2 (15 ounce) cans dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
salt
2 limes, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed nonreactive Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  • Add the onions, bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, pepper flakes, oregano, and cayenne and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add half the beef. Cook, breaking up pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink and just beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the remaining beef and cook, breaking up pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the beans, tomatoes, tomato puree, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
  • Remove the lid and continue to simmer 1 hour longer, stirring occasionally (if the chili begins to stick to the bottom of the pot, stir in 1/2 cup water and continue to simmer), until the beef is tender and the chili is dark, rich, and slightly thickened.
  • Adjust the seasoning with additional salt.
  • Serve with lime wedges and condiments (see note), if desired.

I wasn't impressed with this chili. It was bland and didn't have much depth of flavor.

This chili was okay, but I've had better. It was a bit too salty for my taste.

This chili was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.

I made this chili in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. It was so easy to just throw all the ingredients in and let it cook all day.

This chili was a great way to use up some leftover ground beef. It was easy to make and tasted great.

This chili was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll have to cut back on the cayenne pepper next time.

I've made this chili a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's got the perfect balance of spices and the kidney beans add a nice heartiness.
