Darn Good Chili Recipe
Description
This chili recipe starts by browning ground beef with diced onions and seeded jalapeno peppers until onions turn translucent. A homemade chili seasoning blend, incorporating chili powder, cumin, garlic, and other spices, is stirred in to coat the meat and vegetables. Kidney beans soaked overnight are added along with tomato sauce, diced petite tomatoes, Campbell's condensed tomato soup, water, masa harina, sugar, salt, and beef bouillon base to create a thick, flavorful sauce.
The chili simmers on low heat for about an hour until the beans are tender and flavors meld. The use of masa harina slightly thickens the chili, giving it a satisfying texture. The spice level can be adjusted with cayenne pepper according to preference.
Darn Good Chili is served with dollops of sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese, which cool and complement the spiced chili. Cornbread muffins make a traditional side. The recipe produces a filling, warming chili suitable for cooler weather or casual gatherings.
