Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Carrots

    Stir in the minced garlic and diced carrots, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until fragrant.

Cooking the Chili

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and corn to the pot. Stir to combine all ingredients.

  2. 4

    Season the Chili

    Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

  3. 5

    Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    Once the chili is done simmering, remove the bay leaves. Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve hot and enjoy your crock of chili, mild or wild!
