Chili Recipe
My best Chili Recipe highlights layers of flavors, including a surprise ingredient you might not have considered before—cocoa powder, making it especially savory and adding a richness to it as well.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 pound ground beef
+ 9 more ingredients
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, pour the olive oil. Add the one chopped onion, and 2 cloves of minced garlic and saute until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the pound of ground beef and cook until completely browned, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the 14.5 ounces stewed tomatoes, 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, 8 ounces tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Mix well, breaking up the stewed tomatoes as you stir. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
Add the 15 ounce can of kidney beans with the liquid and stir to completely combine. Cook for an additional 20 minutes, uncovered, again stirring occasionally.
Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, tortilla chips, Fritos, and green onions for topping.
