Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 medium white onions diced
  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium green pepper diced
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 56 ounces diced tomatoes 2- 28 ounce cans
  • 56 ounces whole peeled tomatoes 2- 28 ounce cans
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 6 ounces water
  • 1 can kidney beans 15 ounces with the liquid
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine ground beef, onions, and garlic in a large greased stockpot over medium to medium-high stovetop heat. 
  • Cook and stir until the beef is browned and no longer pink. This will be about 7-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the meat.
  • Add in the chili powder, oregano, and green pepper. Mix together until the beef mixture is coated with the spices.
  • Add the tomato paste. Fill the empty tomato paste cup with water and add to the stock pot. Then add the tomatoes. Mix all the ingredients, cover the pot, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 40 minutes. Make sure to occasionally stir the chili.
  • After 40 minutes, add the kidney beans with the liquid. Stir the chili and allow to simmer with the cover off for another 20 to 30 minutes. 
  • Scoop the chili into bowls and add any extra fixings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced jalapenos, diced green onions, crackers, etc.

Notes

Make sure that the chili has cooled down before storing it. 
This chili can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
If you want to freeze it, put it in an airtight container. It will be good up to three months.
