Hot And Spicy Chili Recipe: A Flavorful American Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
  • 1 can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (with green chilies)
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for extra heat)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Brown the Meat

    In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked.

    Drain excess fat for a healthier dish.
  2. Sauté Onions

    Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until translucent.

    Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Add Tomatoes and Beans

    Stir in the diced tomatoes and kidney beans, mixing well.

    Use low-sodium beans for a healthier option.
  4. Season the Chili

    Add chili powder and cayenne pepper, stirring to combine.

    Taste and adjust spices as desired.
  5. Simmer

    Reduce heat and let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Longer simmering enhances flavor.
