Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, crackers

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chopped green chilies.
  5. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. For deeper flavor, simmer for 1-2 hours.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño with the onions.
  • This chili freezes well. Let it cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
  • You can substitute other types of beans like black beans or cannellini beans.
