Directions

Directions

  1. Heat the olive or canola oil in a medium pot over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño and cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, 3 minutes.

  2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, 8 minutes, breaking up the pieces using the back of a wooden spoon while cooking.

  3. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and stir to combine. Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Then lower the heat to medium low and simmer, covered, until the beef is cooked through and the flavors combine, 30 minutes. Stir occasionally during cooking time.

  4. Remove the chili from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

    I used 2 lbs of ground sirloin, and Mccormick chili spice. Very tasty. Great recipe.

    This recipe was so easy to make. I had to half the recipe because it is just myself. I only used 1/2 can of each of the beans and rinsed each separately in a colander and saved the other half in a small container to use with other meals. It freezes very well and great for a quick lunch or dinner with vegetable sides. Very tasty and filling!
