Chili Base

Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Brown the Beef

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Beans

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and black beans. Mix well to combine.

  4. 4

    Season the Chili

    Add chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir until the spices are fully incorporated.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Chili

    Pour in the water or beef broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    While the chili simmers, prepare the toppings. Chop green onions, slice jalapeños, and set aside.

  2. 7

    Serve the Chili

    Once the chili has thickened and flavors have melded, ladle into cups or bowls. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, green onions, and jalapeños as desired.
