Ingredients:
2 lbs Tyner Pond grassfed ground beef
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) canned corn, drained
2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes, with juice
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
2-3 tablespoons chili powder (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika if available)
1 teaspoon oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños for extra heat
Olive oil for cooking
Water or beef broth, as needed
Optional garnishes: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, cilantro
Instructions:
Brown the Beef: In a large pot, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, remove the beef and set it aside.
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they become soft and fragrant.
Combine Ingredients: Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the kidney beans, black beans, canned corn, diced tomatoes with their juice, and tomato sauce.
Season: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper or jalapeños if using. Mix well.
Simmer: Bring the chili to a slight boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. If the chili seems too thick, add a little water or beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning as needed. Let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes after any adjustments.
Serve: Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, and/or cilantro, if desired.
This chili is perfect for a cozy night in and pairs wonderfully with cornbread or a side salad. The grassfed beef from Tyner Pond Farm adds a rich and hearty flavor to the dish, making it a satisfying meal. Enjoy!
