Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 yellow onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper or green bell pepper, diced
- 2 lbs ground beef 80/20 fat content
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 3 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 Tbsp cumin ground
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes or diced, canned
- 14 oz tomato sauce canned
- 2 (15oz) dark red kidney beans canned, drained and rinsed
- 4 oz diced green chiles canned
TOPPINGS:
- avocado diced
- tomato diced, fresh
- green onion sliced
- cheese shredded
- sour cream
- cilantro minced
- tortilla strips or broken tortilla chips
- jalapeno pepper diced or sliced
Instructions
- To a large skillet, add oil and heat over MED to MED-HIGH heat. Add onions and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and very fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add ground beef and cook about 5 minutes, crumbling with a wooden spoon or potato masher, until beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat, and return beef mixture to skillet.
- Add salt, chili powder, cumin and black pepper and minced garlic, and cook about a minute.
- Transfer beef mixture to the bottom of slow cooker. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans and green chiles, and stir well to combine. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or on HIGH for 5-6 hours.
- Taste chili and season with salt and black pepper if needed. Serve with any desired toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- This chili is thick and rich, but if you prefer a less thick version, when adding the cans of crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans and green chiles, add about a cup of beef stock/broth.
- To cook this on the stove top:
- Complete steps 1-3, using a dutch oven or stockpot instead of a skillet, then add all remaining ingredients to pot and bring to a boil, then cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes, or until chili has thickened to desired consistency.
