A delicious and hearty chili recipe perfect for a cozy dinner.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Use a sharp knife to make dicing easier and safer.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
Ensure the beef is evenly browned for the best flavor.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stirring occasionally prevents the chili from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese or sour cream.
Pair with cornbread or rice for a complete meal.
