Down Home Chili
This chili is great on it's own or paired with the Double Chili-Cheeseburger. It is simple to make and freezes well so you can always have it on hand.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups chopped yellow onions
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Essence [3]
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mild cheddar, optional
Directions
In a heavy 6-quart pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, chili powder, Essence, salt, cumin, and black pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, 4 minutes. Add the meat and stir with a large wooden spoon to break it up. Cook, stirring, until the meat is brown and cooked through, 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and beef stock. Stir well and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 50 to 55 minutes. Stir in cheese if using. Keep warm until ready to serve.
