2 lbs ground beef or turkey
1 small yellow onion about 1 ½ cups diced
2 small green peppers about 2 cups diced
2 cans tomatoes diced (15-ounce cans)

½ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp paprika
½ tsp baking soda optional

½ tbsp salt
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 for another minute or two, stirring to make sure it doesn’t burn.
Step 3: Now, add the ground meat and cook until just done. Then, pour in the tomato sauce followed by the diced tomatoes, water, and tomato paste.
Step 4: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for approximately 5 minutes over medium-low heat. Add the drained beans, then stir in the baking soda.
Step 5: Keep stirring until the bubbles are gone over medium heat. When done, remove from the heat and serve right away.
Notes:
Keep stirring to prevent the chilli from burning.
To save time, prep the ground beef in advance (in large batches) and freeze. For this recipe, you can also use pre-cooked ground beef.
Adding the baking soda assist to cup the tomatoes’ acidity.
