Description

This straightforward chili recipe is a testament to how few quality ingredients can create a deeply satisfying meal. By combining ground beef with aromatic spices like cumin and allspice, you get a rich, savory base that is both comforting and robust. The addition of fresh onions, green peppers, and crushed tomatoes provides a perfect balance of texture and acidity, cutting through the richness of the meat. It is an ideal weeknight dinner that comes together in under an hour, requiring no special skills or hard-to-find items. Serve it hot with a side of cornbread or over rice for a complete, family-friendly feast that tastes like it simmered all day.

  7. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, and water.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
