| 2 | Kidney beans |
| 1/2 | Pinto beans |
| 1 | Can crushed tomatoes |
| 2 | Tomato paste |
| 1 | Cup water |
| 4 | Ground cumin |
| 1 | Teaspoon dried oregano |
| 2 | Teaspoons onion powder |
| 1/2 | Teaspoon garlic |
| 1 | Teaspoon paprika |
| 1 | Teaspoon salt |
| 2 | Teaspoons sugar |
| 4 | Teaspoons instant coffee |
| 1 | Tablespoon chili powder |
| 1/2 | Teaspoon cayenne pepper |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering and preparing all the ingredients. Rinse the beans thoroughly and drain them. Dice the onions finely.
-
-
Brown Ground Chuck: In a dutch oven or stock pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the ground chuck and diced onions. Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally to break up the meat.
-
Add Flour: Once the meat is browned, sprinkle the flour over the meat mixture. Continue to stir for an additional 5 minutes. This helps to thicken the chili and develop a rich flavor.
-
Incorporate Remaining Ingredients: Add the kidney beans, pinto beans, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, water, ground cumin, dried oregano, onion powder, minced garlic, paprika, salt, sugar, instant coffee, chili powder, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
-
Simmer: Bring the chili to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chili to thicken to perfection. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Serve: Once the chili has simmered to perfection, it’s ready to be served! Ladle it into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, minced onions, shredded cheddar cheese, saltines, club crackers, or Fritos. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of Shaye’s Favorite Chili with your loved ones.
