This delicious chili took 2nd place at our local chili cook-off! Bet you can't eat just one bowl. If it is too thick, add water 1/4 cup at a time until you reach desired consistency. Even better tasting the second day!

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground turkey
2 onions, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 tablespoon jalapeno, finely chopped
1 (14 ounce) can Mexican-style tomatoes (like Rotel)
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked if you can find it)
1 (14 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup water
sour cream
cheddar cheese
green onion

Steps:

  • In a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat add the olive oil. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking up into pieces, until browned. Add the onions, bell pepper and jalapeno and cook until softened. Drain excess grease.

  • Add the kidney beans and black beans, mix and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1-2 hours.
  • Serve with desired toppings.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the chili will taste. This is especially true for the tomatoes, onions, and peppers.
  • Brown the beef well: Browning the beef helps to develop its flavor and give the chili a richer color.
  • Use a variety of beans: Different beans have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will add complexity to the chili. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
  • Add chili powder and cumin early in the cooking process: This will give the chili time to develop its flavor.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: This will help to meld the flavors and thicken the chili.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some good options include sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped onions.
