Championship Chili: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for 5-Star Flavor

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the pot. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
  5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, kidney beans, and black beans. Stir to combine.
  6. Pour in the beef broth and add the diced bell pepper. Stir everything together.
  7. Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer more heat, add additional cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  9. Once the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded, it’s ready to serve.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute ground meat with additional beans or lentils.
  • Serve with bread or over rice for a complete meal.
