  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ lbs ground beef (lean)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1½ tbsp cumin, ground
  • 1 tbsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne powder
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp oregano, dried
  • 1 cup beef stock (OR 1 bouillon cube + 1 cup hot water)
  • (29 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (29 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (32 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
  1. 1

    Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add onions and jalapeno peppers; sauté until softened (about 3-5 mins.). Add garlic; sauté for another 30 secs, until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking beef into smaller pieces. This will take about 7-10 mins. Drain excess grease if needed.

  3. 3

    Add tomato paste and all the spices -- salt, black pepper, ground cumin, red chili powder, cayenne powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Stir well and cook for another 2 mins., until spices are fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the beef stock (or bouillon cube + water), diced tomato, tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans, and brown sugar. Stir well, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Once chili is brought to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours; stir occasionally. The longer it simmers, the deeper the flavours.

  6. 6

    Stir chili, taste, and adjust for salt. If chili is too sour, add more brown sugar, 1 tsp at a time, until it is to your taste.

  7. 7

    Suggested toppings: sour cream, cilantro, shredded cheese, diced avocado, sliced jalapeno peppers, lime wedges. Enjoy!
