Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground hamburger
  • 1 white onion
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 15 oz beef broth
  • 1 can chili beans 15.5 oz
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • sour cream and shredded cheese to top with optional
  • 1 can petite diced tomatoes 14.5 oz can

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat add hamburger and onions and cook until onions are translucent and ground beef is cooked through, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic during last minute of cooking. Drain grease off.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients to dutch oven and stir to combine. Bring to a low boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove chili from stove and let set 5-10 minutes then serve. Top with cheese and sour cream if desired!

Notes

  • Place the chili in a storage container with lid off. Let it cool to room temperature. When it’s at room temperature place lid on and seal container, then place in the refrigerator.
  • It will keep up to 3 days in the refrigerator. If you won’t use it by then place it in the freezer to store.
  • You have the option of store leftovers in a freezer-safe bag, glass or plastic airtight containers.
  • First, place the chili in storage container of your choice. Don’t seal with container top or close bag. You want it to cool down to room temperature.
  • Once it’s at room temperature seal the bag or container and place in the freezer. If you used a bag lay it flat, so it’s easier to stack. A great tip is to place it on a sheet pan and freezer for 2 hours, remove from baking sheet and stack.
  • It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
