Best Damn Chili Ever
Prepare yourselves for a recipe that packs a punch! This chili embodies comfort, spice, and everything nice. Let’s dive into the vibrant world of flavors!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (or turkey, if you’re feeling health-conscious)
- 1 medium onion, chopped (preferably not crying over it)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (add more if you want to keep the vampires away)
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons chili powder (more if you dare!)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 jalapeño, chopped (optional – if you like living on the edge)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Shredded cheese and sour cream for topping (because why not?)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and you can’t help but admire how great your kitchen smells.
- Add the ground beef (or turkey, if you must) and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat—let’s keep it classy.
- Now, it’s time to unleash the crushed tomatoes! Stir them in with your meat mixture as if you’re conjuring a chili spell.
- Add the kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and that daring jalapeño. Stir everything together like you’re at a wild dance party!
- Bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it bubble for at least 30 minutes. Hint: the longer it simmers, the more magical it tastes.
- When you’re ready to serve, ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheese and sour cream. Feel free to add some cornbread on the side for an extra dose of yum!
And there you have it! A chili that truly deserves the title “Best Damn Chili Ever.” Put on that apron, channel your inner chef, and let this recipe take the spotlight at your next gathering. Your friends will thank you (and so will we!). Enjoy!
