Description
Hearty five-ingredient chili delivers comfort and warmth with minimal effort. Robust flavors blend seamlessly, creating a satisfying meal that brings people together around the table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (454 g) ground beef or turkey
- 1 packet (28 g) chili seasoning mix
- 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 oz / 227 g) tomato sauce
- 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Heat a spacious cooking vessel over medium temperature, sautéing ground protein until completely caramelized and golden brown, carefully eliminating surplus liquid fat.
- Incorporate whole diced tomato components, hearty kidney legumes, and smooth tomato reduction into the cooking vessel, creating a robust base.
- Generously sprinkle specialized chili seasoning throughout the mixture, methodically stirring to guarantee uniform flavor distribution and ingredient integration.
- Allow the culinary creation to gently bubble and simmer for approximately 20-25 minutes, periodically rotating and blending contents to enhance taste complexity and meld ingredients seamlessly.
- Transfer the steaming chili into serving bowls, accompanied by complementary garnishes such as freshly grated cheese or creamy dairy topping for additional textural and flavor dimensions.
Notes
- Opt for lean ground meat to reduce excess fat and create a healthier chili without sacrificing flavor.
- Consider using turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter, more diet-friendly version that still delivers robust taste.
- Customize spice levels by adjusting the chili seasoning mix or creating a homemade blend to suit personal preferences.
- Enhance nutrition by adding extra vegetables like diced bell peppers or zucchini during the cooking process for added texture and vitamins.
