Rich And Hearty Chili Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • chop all your veggies to preferred size.
  • in your pot, drizzle a bit of olive oil and throw in any “hard” veggies such as the carrots.
  • saute about 5 minutes.
  • throw in your onions & dust with chili powder.
  • saute until onions are sweating, 5 minutes or so.
  • throw in your garlic for about 3 minutes.
  • add all your ingredients EXCEPT your protein and herbs.
  • cover and bring to a high heat, not boiling, but a little bubbly.
  • add a generous amount of chili powder.
  • reduce heat and simmer.
  • if your protein is some sort of roast or tough cut of meat, throw that in as well.
  • in a saute pan, throw your protein in to brown.
  • give it a nice dusting of chili powder!
  • when brown, throw that in your pot.
  • now, cook it for at least 30 minutes, then start adding the herbs and tweaks to taste. give those 10 to 20 minutes, then taste and adjust. the longer you cook it, the richer the flavor and more tender the bits. if it seems too soupy, toss in a can of tomato paste and let it simmer with no lid. (you can also use corn starch but i try not to unless absolutely necessary)
  • did you make this and make some great new tweak? please let me know! i’m always looking for new ideas.
