Chili

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, for about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Spices and Tomatoes

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the chili into bowls and top with pimento cheese and croutons before serving.
