Ingredients
- 2 pounds of ground beef
- A package of smoked sausages, cut into small pieces
- Diced bacon slices, adding a smoky essence
- Minced garlic for a flavorful kick
- Onions, finely diced to enhance the aroma
- Tomato paste from a small can
- Beef broth from a large can
- Diced tomatoes from a substantial can
- Mild chili beans with their sauce
- Pinto beans from a couple of cans, drained
- Anaheim and New Mexico chile peppers, minced
- Jalapeno peppers, deseeded and finely minced
- Serrano peppers, deseeded and chopped finely
- Worcestershire sauce for depth of flavor
- Brown sugar to balance the spices
- Chipotle chile powder for a smoky heat
- Ground cumin for an earthy undertone
- Salt and pepper to elevate the taste
Step 1
Begin by browning the ground beef in a large soup pot over medium-high heat until it is cooked and crumbly. Once done, set it aside. Next, brown the sausages, and then also set them aside. Lower the heat to medium and add the bacon, cooking it until it releases its fat and starts to crisp up. Toss in the garlic and onions, sautéing until the onions become soft and translucent, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste to coat the onions evenly.
Step 2
Now, it's time to pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, chili beans, and pinto beans. Add a variety of peppers like Anaheim, jalapeño, and serrano for some kick. Season the mixture with Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, chipotle powder, and cumin. Bring everything to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 2 hours until it thickens, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper before simmering for an extra 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your pantry stocked with cans of diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and tomato paste for easy access when craving a big bowl of chili.
- 2. Invest in airtight containers to store your spices like cumin, chili powder, and paprika to keep them fresh and potent for that perfect flavor burst.
