2 cans tomatoes, diced (15 oz. cans)
2 lbs ground beef or turkey
1 small yellow onion about 1 ½ c. diced
2 small green peppers about 2 c. diced
6 oz. can tomato paste
2 cans of kidney beans, drained and rinsed (15 oz. cans)
2 tbsp garlic powder
3 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp onion powder
3 tbsp cumin
1 tsp chipotle powder
1 tbsp paprika
15 oz. can of tomato sauce
½ tsp cayenne pepper
15 oz. water
½ tsp baking soda, optional
½ tbsp salt
1 tsp white pepper
How to make Chili
Step 1: Saute the diced peppers and onions in a large dutch oven until they begin to caramelize and the onions are translucent. Then, add the seasonings except for the baking soda and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes while stirring.
Step 2: To the pot with the veggies, add the ground meat, and cook further until just cooked.
Step 3: Then, add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, and tomato paste. Bring everything to a simmer and continue to cook for another 15 minutes over medium-low heat before adding the drained beans.
Step 4: Whisk in the baking soda. Keep stirring until the bubbles are gone over medium heat.
Step 5: Take the chili off the heat when done and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes:
Make sure to stir constantly to prevent the chili from burning.
Feel free to make the ground beef in advance in large batches. Simply freeze them. Or use pre-cooked ground beef.
To cut the acidity in the tomatoes, do not skip the baking soda.
