Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 2 stalks Celery
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 15 ounces Canned kidney beans
- 15 ounces Canned white beans
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 cups Beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set the cooked beef aside.
Chop the onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Add these vegetables to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and stir in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, white beans, and tomato paste.
Pour in the beef stock and stir to combine all the ingredients.
Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Bring the chili to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low heat. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving.
Serve hot, optionally topping with shredded cheese, sour cream, or sliced green onions. Pair with crusty bread or crackers for a wholesome meal.
