Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds of ground beef
- 1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (14 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 can (14.5 oz) beef broth
- 4 tablespoons of chili seasoning (homemade or half a packet)
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 onion, chopped (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
Optional Toppings
- Shredded cheese
- Sour cream
- Diced onions
- Jalapenos
Instructions
- Brown the meat: In a large stockpot, brown 2 pounds of ground beef (or a mix of 1 pound ground beef and 1 pound ground turkey) over medium heat, breaking it apart evenly using a utensil like a mix n chop for consistent texture.
- Cook vegetables: Add the chopped 1/2 onion and 1/2 red bell pepper to the browned meat, cooking until the vegetables soften and are fragrant, stirring occasionally.
- Add seasonings and liquids: Stir in 4 tablespoons chili seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, the can of crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth, mixing everything well to combine.
- Bring to boil: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, ensuring all ingredients begin to meld together.
- Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the chili simmer gently for 30 minutes up to one hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to develop flavors.
- Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and serve warm with optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and jalapenos as desired.
