Shopping List
- 2 pounds ground beef (about 85% lean)
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon EACH dried oregano, coriander, paprika, and cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted beef broth)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or chipotle powder (double for spicy)
Instructions
- Step 1: To help tenderize the beef, combine the baking soda with 1 tablespoon of water. Add the ground beef, salt (if using), and baking soda mixture to a large bowl. Mix well with your hands and then rest the beef on the counter for 15 minutes.
- Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
- Step 3: Add the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces with the side of a spatula, until it is no longer pink inside. Strain the released liquid and place the beef mixture back into the pot.
- Step 4: Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the tomato paste and spices. Cook until fragrant, about 2 more minutes.
- Step 5: Pour in the canned tomatoes (with all of the juices) and broth. Stir and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Step 6: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. In the last 5 minutes, pour in the drained beans.
- Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with your favorite fixings.
