Ingredients
- A generous dollop of savory bacon drippings
- Tender and flavorful ground beef weighing around 1 ½ pounds, ideally from the chuck
- Finely chopped portion of a medium white onion
- 8 pieces of garlic, or adjust to suit your taste buds
- 3 spoonfuls of zesty chili powder
- A single spoonful of aromatic ground paprika
- 2 pinches of dried oregano
- A dash of salt and a sprinkle of black pepper
- A large can (28 ounces) of velvety tomato puree
- A cup of water to enhance the texture
- 3 tablespoons of concentrated tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons of natural white sugar
- A cube of rich beef bouillon
Step 1
In a sizable pot, warm up some bacon grease on medium-high heat. Toss in the ground beef and stir until it's nearly browned, which should take around 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, then introduce the onion. Keep stirring as the onion cooks until it becomes soft and see-through, giving it about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Time to jazz it up! Sprinkle in some garlic, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until the scents start dancing around, usually around 2 to 3 minutes. Next, pour in the tomato puree, water, tomato paste, a bit of sugar, and a bouillon cube. Lower the heat again, cover the pot, and let it simmer. Stir occasionally and let it bubble away for approximately 30 to 60 minutes for all the flavors to mingle beautifully.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize mason jars for storing leftover chili - the clear glass allows you to see the colorful layers of beans, peppers, and tomatoes.
- 2. Freeze individual portions of chili in silicone muffin trays for easy reheating on busy weeknights.
- 3. Invest in airtight, reusable silicone storage bags to keep your chili fresh and prevent freezer burn.
