A hearty and flavorful chili recipe perfect for a cozy dinner.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Using a heavy-bottomed pot helps distribute heat evenly.
Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
Ensure the beef is fully browned for the best flavor.
Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
Cooking the onions and garlic releases their natural sweetness.
Mix in the spices: salt, cayenne, cumin, oregano, and chili powder.
Toast the spices briefly to enhance their aroma.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, and tomato juice. Stir well.
Ensure all ingredients are well mixed for even cooking.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
Simmering uncovered helps thicken the chili.
Cover the pot and continue to simmer for an additional 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or sour cream.
Serve with a side of cornbread for a complete meal.
