Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped yellow onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon Emeril's Creole Seasoning (sold in supermarkets) or other Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, preferably 80% lean
1 (14.5-ounce) can peeled whole tomatoes, undrained
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
2 cups beef stock or low-sodium beef broth

Steps:

  • In a heavy-bottomed 6-quart pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, chili powder, cumin, Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the onions are softened, about 4 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until the meat is brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes, breaking up any clumps. Spoon off and discard the rendered fat.
  • Crush the tomatoes with your hands and add them to the pot along with their juices. Add the tomato paste, brown sugar, and stock; stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 50 to 55 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover meat. I always make a big batch and then freeze it in individual portions.

This chili was a lot of work to make, but it was worth it. It's the best chili I've ever had.

I found this chili to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.

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

This chili is delicious! I made it exactly as the recipe says, and it turned out perfect. The only thing I might change next time is to add a little more heat.

This chili recipe is a keeper! It's hearty, flavorful, and easy to make. I especially love the addition of cinnamon and coffee to the spice mix. It adds a unique depth of flavor that I've never tasted in chili before.
