2tablespoons vegetable oil or corn oil
2 medium onions , chopped fine (about 2 cups)
1 red bell pepper , cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6medium cloves garlic , minced or pressed through garlic press (about 2 tablespoons)
1/4cup chili powder
1tablespoon ground cumin
2teaspoons ground coriander
1teaspoon red pepper flakes
1teaspoon dried oregano
1/2teaspoon cayenne pepper
2pounds 85 percent lean ground beef
2 (15-ounce) cans red kidney beans , drained and rinsed
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes , with juice
1 can (28 ounces) tomato puree
Table salt
2 limes , cut into wedges

Steps:

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

This chili is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. It's so easy to throw together and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can customize it to my liking, too.

This chili is the perfect comfort food. It's hearty, flavorful, and easy to make. I love serving it with a dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheese.

I've made this chili a few times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and the flavor is amazing. I love that I can make it in one pot, too.

This chili was so easy to make and turned out delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still very flavorful. I also added a can of black beans and a can of corn for some extra veggies.
