Servings 10
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef, I use grass-fed and 85%
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 28 ounce can tomato sauce
- 15 ounce can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounce can light red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 15 ounce cans fire roasted diced tomatoes (not drained)
- 1 large jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a dutch oven or large pot to medium and add in the ground beef, half the salt and pepper.
- Brown the ground beef, then remove and set aside.
- Add in the olive oil, onions and the remaining salt and pepper.
- Sauté for a few minutes, then add in the jalapeño pepper. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes, then add in the garlic and continue cooking for another 15 seconds, making sure not to brown it or it will become bitter.
- Add in the ground cumin, smoked paprika and chili powder and allow to toast for 10 seconds. Don't skip this step, it really helps activate the spices and gives the chili great flavor.
- Add in the Worcestershire and brown sugar, then stir to dissolve. Pour in the beef broth, then add the ground beef back in and the remaining ingredients.
- Stir until well combined and reduce the heat to low covered, with the lid slightly cracked, and simmer for 2 hours.
- Serve with your favorite toppings.
