An easy chili recipe

A super hearty, super delicious recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 kilogram ground beef

• 1 kilogram ground pork

• 1 medium yellow onion, diced

• 1 large green or red bell pepper, seeded and diced

• 1 large jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped, or 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 2 teaspoons sea salt

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 3 tablespoons mild chili powder

• 2 teaspoons cumin

• 2 teaspoons brown sugar

• 2 cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed

• 1 can diced tomatoes

• 1 1/2 cups broth (chicken or beef)
  
  

For serving (optional)

• Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

• Cream cheese

• Green onions, finely chopped
  
  

Step-by-step instructions:

1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the ground beef, ground pork, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and garlic. 

2. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and the onions and peppers begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add the garlic powder, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, beans, tomatoes, and broth. 

4. Turn the heat to high and bring the chili to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring almost constantly, for 5 minutes. 

5. If the chili is splattering, lower the heat slightly and stir more slowly. This will help reduce the liquid and concentrate the flavors.

6. Turn the heat to low. Simmer the chili, uncovered, for another 25 minutes. Let the finished chili stand for 10 minutes before serving.

7. Serve with cheese, sour cream, and fresh green onions.
