Recipe Ingredients List

Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful beanless beefy chili:

• 2 pounds of high-quality ground beef
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 can (14 ounces) of diced tomatoes
• 1 can (6 ounces) of tomato paste
• 2 cups of beef broth
• 2 tablespoons of chili powder
• 1 tablespoon of cumin
• 1 tablespoon of paprika
• 1 teaspoon of oregano
• 1 teaspoon of salt, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

It’s important to use high-quality beef for this recipe, as it is the star ingredient. Fresh ingredients will also enhance the overall flavor of the chili. If you prefer, you can customize the recipe by adding other vegetables such as corn or carrots to the mix.

Recipe Instructions

Let’s get started on creating this tasty beefy chili!

1. In a large skillet or a Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Break it up into small crumbles using a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink, then drain excess fat.
2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
3. Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
4. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and beef broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet or Dutch oven, and let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. You can simmer it for longer if you prefer a thicker, more intense flavor.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices according to your preference.
7. Serve the beefy chili hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. It pairs beautifully with sour cream, shredded cheese, and a side of cornbread.

By following these simple steps, you’ll have a scrumptious pot of beefy chili ready to be devoured!
