Texas Chili Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by sautéing diced onions in vegetable oil until translucent, then adding minced garlic for aroma. Ground beef is added and seared, leaving some chunks for texture. The meat is seasoned with kosher salt, ancho chile powder, cumin, paprika, and a touch of brown sugar to create a layered flavor profile.
Diced tomatoes and concentrated tomato paste are mixed in, providing acidity and richness. Beef broth is added to build the cooking liquid that simmers for an hour, during which time the flavors meld and the broth reduces to a thick consistency. This results in a chili with tender beef pieces enveloped in a robust, spiced sauce.
This chili works well as a main dish served with sides like cornbread or rice, or as a topping for baked potatoes. The mixture can also be used as a filling for wraps or to spice up other dishes.
