Chili (sept-april) Recipe

Chili Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

2. 2

   Cook the Meat

   Add the ground beef or turkey to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Remaining Ingredients

   Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and water or broth. Bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can simmer longer for a deeper flavor.

5. 5

   Prepare the Bread Bowl

   While the chili simmers, prepare your bread bowls. Cut the tops off of round bread loaves and scoop out the insides, leaving a thick wall. You can toast the bread bowls lightly if desired.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the chili is ready, ladle it into the prepared bread bowls and serve hot.
