Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.25 cup Lard or vegetable shortening
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
Instructions
In a medium saucepan or skillet, melt the lard or vegetable shortening over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula as it cooks. Do not drain the fat.
Sprinkle the flour over the beef and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Add the paprika, chili powder, ground mustard, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine and evenly coat the beef in the spices.
Add the beef broth and tomato paste to the pan. Stir well to incorporate the paste into the liquid.
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chili will thicken as it cooks.
Once the chili has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the chili as a topping for hot dogs, fries, or burgers, or enjoy it on its own.
