  • Total 1 hr 50 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (at least 80% lean)
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper sauce
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (19 oz) Progresso™ red kidney beans, undrained

Steps

  • 1
    In 3-quart saucepan, cook beef, onions and garlic over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
  • 2
    Stir in chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper sauce and tomatoes.
  • 3
    Heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently. Cover; cook 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • 4
    Stir in kidney beans. Heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently. Cook uncovered about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until desired thickness.

  • Spoon the hot Chili over baked russet or sweet potatoes for a big one-dish meal. Sour cream, chopped chives and crumbled bacon all add up to a loaded chili baked potato supper.
  • Use this Chili recipe to make Chili Macaroni: spoon the homemade Chili over hot cooked macaroni or fusilli. Top with lots of finely chopped red onion, shredded Colby-Jack cheese and fresh cilantro leaves.
  • Try swapping the ground beef in this classic Chili for some ground pork, chicken or turkey.
  • Looking for ways to enhance the basic chili powder? Add a healthy shake of chipotle chili powder (smoked ripe jalapeños). For a smokier edge, try a generous pinch of ground coriander, cinnamon or allspice.
