A hearty and flavorful chili recipe perfect for cozy evenings.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.
Using a heavy-bottomed pot helps distribute heat evenly.
Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
Ensure the beef is evenly browned for the best flavor.
Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
Avoid burning the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Mix in the tomato sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, and bouillon cubes, then add water to cover the mixture.
Dissolve the bouillon cubes thoroughly for a consistent flavor.
Simmer the mixture on low heat for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
Cover the pot partially to prevent excessive evaporation.
Add the cumin, oregano, black pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder, stirring well.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Continue cooking for another 30 minutes or until the flavors meld and the chili thickens.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or sour cream.
Pair with cornbread or rice for a complete meal.
