Savory Showdown Chili: A Political Palate Pleaser

Ingredients

• 1 lb of ground beef,
• 1 cup of finely chopped onion,
• 2 minced garlic cloves,
• 2 cans of diced tomatoes (16 oz each),
• 1 cup of hearty beef broth,
• 1 can of diced green chiles (4 oz),
• ¾ tbsp of flavorful chili powder,
• 1 tbsp of rich brown sugar,
• 2 tsp of aromatic dried oregano,
• 1 tsp of ground cumin,
• ½ tsp of salt,
• 2 cans of ranch-style beans (15 oz each).

Step 1

In a large pot set over medium-high heat, start by breaking down the beef while adding in the flavors of onion and garlic. Allow the beef to brown thoroughly, stirring occasionally for about 7 to 10 minutes. Once done, remove any excess grease from the pot and return it to the heat.

Step 2

Introduce a variety of ingredients to the pot, including diced tomatoes, beef broth, diced green chilies, chili powder, a touch of brown sugar, fragrant oregano, grounding cumin, and a sprinkle of salt. Mix it all together with the beef before adding in the beans, bringing the concoction to a gentle boil.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it all simmer for an hour. This step allows the flavors to meld and intensify, resulting in a rich and flavorful chili. Enjoy the delicious outcome of this slow-cooked dish!
