Chili Base

Toppings

Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Brown the Meat

    Add the ground beef or turkey to the pot. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and water or beef broth. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare Toppings

    While the chili is simmering, prepare toppings by shredding cheddar cheese and opening the bag of tortilla chips.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the chili into bowls or cups. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
