A flavorful and hearty chili recipe perfect for any occasion.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Break the beef into smaller pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped onion and diced green pepper to the pot and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Garlic burns quickly, so keep an eye on it and stir constantly.
Add the canned kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce to the pot.
Drain and rinse the beans before adding to reduce excess sodium.
Season with paprika, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cayenne, and salt.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed to suit your preference.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together for a richer taste.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or sour cream.
Serve with a side of cornbread or tortilla chips for a complete meal.
