Chili; Extra Meaty Spicy Beef Cup $9 Bowl 16- Recipe

SIDES & SOUPS

1. 1

   Brown the beef

   In a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. If there is excess fat, tilt the pot and spoon it off.

2. 2

   Sauté aromatics

   Add the chopped onion and diced green bell pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. 3

   Bloom spices

   Sprinkle chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper over the meat and vegetables. Stir and cook for 1 minute to release the spices' aromas.

4. 4

   Add tomatoes and broth

   Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

5. 5

   Add beans

   Add the drained kidney beans to the pot. Stir to combine.

6. 6

   Simmer

   Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens and flavors meld.

7. 7

   Adjust heat and finish

   Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or cayenne if you prefer more heat. If using, stir in minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

8. 8

   Serve with toppings

   Ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced green onions.
