Secret Ingredient 45-Minute Chili
This chili is not just any chili; it’s packed with flavor and a secret ingredient that takes it to the next level! So grab your pots and let’s get cooking.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a lighter version)
- 2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 tablespoon secret ingredient (you’ll find out soon!)
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions
Instructions:
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Next, add the ground beef (or turkey) to the pot. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour in the beef broth and add the secret ingredient. Bring everything to a simmer.
- Let the chili simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows all the wonderful flavors to meld together.
- Serve hot, topped with your choice of shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or a sprinkle of chopped green onions for that extra flair!
