🌶️ Quick Chili II Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes (with liquid)

  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or cayenne (for extra kick)

  • Olive oil (if needed)

Toppings (Optional but awesome):

  • Shredded cheddar cheese

  • Sour cream

  • Chopped green onions

  • Jalapeño slices

  • Tortilla chips or cornbread on the side


Instructions:

  1. Brown the meat: In a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until meat is browned and onion is soft (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.

  2. Add garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Build the chili: Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together.

  4. Simmer: Bring to a light boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful.

  5. Taste & adjust: Add more chili powder, cumin, or salt if needed. If you like it spicier, toss in a bit of cayenne or hot sauce.

  6. Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy warm with some crusty bread or cornbread!
