Hey everyone! I just made a batch of ground beef chili that turned out so good, I had to share the recipe with you all. It’s perfect for those cozy nights when you want something hearty and comforting. Plus, it’s super easy to throw together. Here’s how I made it:
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a bit of heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños
- In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain the excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute or so to let the spices really bloom.
- Add the kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir everything together and bring it to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This lets all the flavors meld together nicely.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you like your chili thicker, you can simmer it uncovered for a bit longer.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings. I love adding a dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheese on top.
