Cooking Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring, until the vegetables start to soften, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to moderate. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring, until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Add the beans and simmer, partially covered, until the vegetables are tender and the chili thickened, about 5 minutes longer.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

You'll get a clear taste of cumin in this great cold-weather chili made with ground beef, beans, and green bell pepper. If you want a hotter chili, add as much cayenne as you like.

Notes:

Variation: Add one ten-ounce package of frozen corn, thawed, to the chili along with the beans.

  • Beans in Chili?

    JLT - May 2, 2008 08:43:43 AM PST
    True Chili has no Beans. You can ask any of the thousands of Competitive Chili Cooks about that.. What you are promoting here is a stew with chilipowder, and what is with Oregano. That is Pasta Sauce. Try making some real Chili!!!

  • True chili has no beans?

    Chili sans beans is great for chili dogs, but for a meal? I haven't yet tried it, but this recipe sounds wonderful.

    Beans or no beans, chili should have chile peppers! Fresh, ground or dried. Doesn't matter. PASS.
