1 small yellow onion about 1 ½ cups diced
2 lbs ground beef or turkey
2 small green peppers about 2 cups diced
6 oz. can tomato paste
2 cans tomatoes diced (15-ounce cans)

2 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp garlic powder

1 tsp chipotle powder
1 tbsp paprika
½ tsp baking soda optional

How to make Chili
Step 1: Saute the diced peppers and onions in a large Dutch oven until clear and beginning to caramelize.
Step 2: To the Dutch oven, add the seasonings except for the baking soda and continue to cook, stirring to make sure it doesn’t burn. This takes a minute or two.
Step 3: Add the ground meat to the pan and cook until just done. Add the tomato sauce followed by the diced tomatoes, water, and tomato paste.
Step 4: Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook over medium-low heat for approximately 5 minutes, then add the drained beans. Next, add the baking soda and stir constantly over medium heat until the bubbles are gone. Remove from the heat when done and serve right away. Enjoy!
Notes:
To prevent the chilli from burning, make sure to stir the chilli constantly.
To save time, prep the ground beef ahead in large batches, then freeze. You can also use pre-cooked ground beef if desired.
The baking soda assists to cut the tomatoes’ acidity.
