Instructions:
-
Brown the Beef: Start by heating a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chuck to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and there is no visible pink.
-
Add Ingredients: Once the beef is browned, it’s time to add the rest of the ingredients to the skillet. Pour in the Mexican-style stewed tomatoes, canned red kidney beans, canned pinto beans, garlic powder, cilantro, chili powder, and poultry seasoning.
-
Season to Taste: Season the chili with salt and pepper according to your preference. This step allows you to customize the flavor to suit your taste buds. Stir everything together until well combined.
-
Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
-
Simmer: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together and develop into a rich and aromatic dish.
-
Adjust Consistency: After 30 minutes, remove the lid and check the consistency of the chili. If you prefer a thicker consistency, continue to cook uncovered for an additional 30 minutes or until it reaches your desired thickness.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the chili is done, ladle it into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, diced onions, sour cream, or avocado for an extra burst of flavor. Pair it with some warm cornbread or tortilla chips for a complete meal.
Tips:
- For an extra kick of heat, add some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chili.
- This recipe can easily be adjusted to suit your dietary preferences. Feel free to swap out the ground chuck for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for longer storage. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop for a quick and satisfying meal.
