Description
A hearty and flavorful Texas Roadhouse-style chili recipe that packs a punch with savory beef, beans, and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Ground Beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- 1 large Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
- 1 (15 ounce) can Diced Tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15 ounce) can Tomato Sauce
- 1 (6 ounce) can Tomato Paste
- 1 (15 ounce) can Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15 ounce) can Pinto Beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Chili Powder
- 1 tablespoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (or more, to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
- Pinch of Ground Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease from the pot.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the pot with the browned beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Notes
- Adjust the spices to your taste; you can add more cayenne pepper for extra heat.
- For a thicker chili, simmer longer to reduce liquid.
- Serve with cornbread or over rice for a hearty meal.
