Directions
-
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
-
Add the chopped onion, green pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
-
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, coriander, allspice, and salt. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices, releasing their aromas.
-
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans with their liquid, water, and cider vinegar. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Add the corn to the pot. Simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until the chili is thickened and heated through. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
-
Serve hot in bowls. Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro if desired.
