Instructions:

Brown ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef with chopped onions and minced garlic until the meat is no longer pink, then drain off any excess fat.
-
-
Add vegetables and spices: Stir in chopped celery, diced green pepper, chili powder, black pepper, oregano, ground cumin, and salt. Saute until the vegetables are heated through and the spices are fragrant.
-
Combine all ingredients: Transfer the cooked beef mixture into a crock pot or large stock pot. Add in the stewed tomatoes (undrained) and drained kidney beans. Mix well to combine.
-
Simmer: Set the crock pot or stock pot on very low heat and let the chili simmer for 8 to 12 hours, stirring occasionally every 1 to 2 hours to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Serve: Once the chili is thick and flavorful, ladle it into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and cilantro. Serve hot with a side of crisp salad and your choice of cornbread or crusty rolls for a complete meal.
Enjoy this amazing chili with its robust flavors and hearty texture, perfect for warming you up from the inside out on a cold winter day! 🍲🔥
