Classic Chili
Ingredients
Instructions
Heat oil over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and onion, and cook until the vegetables begin to soften.
After softening, stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano and cook for 2 minutes.
#SpoonTip: Garlic can be tricky to peel and chop, but our fellow Spooners can help you peel garlic cloves efficiently.
Increase the temperature from medium to medium-high heat. Add beef and cook for 10 minutes, or until browned.
Stir in tomato paste and let cook for 1 minute. Stir in chiles, salsa and water, heating to a simmer. Reduce the heat back to medium, and cover the pot for 10 minutes.
Stir in beans and salt. If the chili is too thick, add a little more water to get the perfect texture.
Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro. Serve and enjoy.
