Ingredients

  • – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • – 2 lbs (900 g) lean ground beef
  • – 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • – 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • – 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • – 2 jalapeños, chopped
  • – 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • – 1 (28 oz / 800 g) can crushed tomatoes
  • – 1 (15 oz / 425 g) can petite diced tomatoes
  • – 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
  • – 3 tablespoons (45 ml) tomato paste
  • – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) hot sauce, I used Texas Pete
  • – 1 (15 oz / 425 g) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • – 3 tablespoons (45 ml) chili powder
  • – 2 teaspoons (10 ml) dried oregano
  • – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) cumin
  • – 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) salt
  • – 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) black pepper
  • – Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • – 1 packet Stevia


Instructions

  1. In a large pot or dutch oven on medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned. Remove any excess liquid and set the beef aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
  2. Pour some olive oil into the heated pan and add the chopped onion, red and green bell peppers, and jalapeños. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until the onion becomes see-through and the peppers soften. Add in the minced garlic and continue to cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Return the cooked beef to the pot, then incorporate the remaining ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and cover, letting the chili simmer for around 30 minutes to an hour, stirring from time to time to prevent sticking.
  4. Serve the chili in bowls, garnish with your preferred toppings, and savor the dish!

Notes

  • Try using smoked paprika for a smokier flavor instead of chili powder.
  • Add a tablespoon of brown sugar or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
  • Increase hot sauce or cayenne pepper for an extra kick of heat.
