Delicious Camp Chili

Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients to whip up this delightful chili:

  • 2 lbs ground beef (or turkey, if you prefer)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, jalapeños

Instructions

Now that we’ve got our ingredients ready, let’s dive into the cooking process:

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once it’s no longer pink, drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing until they’re soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Next, stir in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix it all together until combined.
  4. Season your chili with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes. This will let all those flavors meld together beautifully.
  6. If you prefer a thicker chili, you can let it simmer a bit longer. Just stir occasionally!
  7. When ready to serve, ladle the chili into bowls and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy it piping hot!
