Chili H. Allen Smith

Chili H. Allen Smith recipe image
This hearty chili is a classic American comfort food at its finest. Ground beef sirloin is browned with plenty of chopped onions to build a deep, savory foundation. The heat comes from ground red chile, balanced by the earthy notes of cumin and dried oregano. Tomato paste adds richness and body, while a long, slow simmer allows the flavors to meld into a thick, satisfying stew. It&# 226;ÂÂs perfect for cold evenings, game days, or any time you crave something warm and filling. Serve it straight from the pot with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal that the whole family will love.
