Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 15-ounce can canned kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 cup water (optional, for adjusting consistency)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the cooked beef aside on a plate.
In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion and bell pepper over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, beef broth, and tomato paste.
Season the mixture with chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir well to combine.
Bring the stew to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the stew becomes too thick, add up to 1/2 cup of water to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste the stew and adjust seasonings if necessary. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and ladle the Hamburger Chili Stew into bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve warm.
