This classic chili recipe is thick enough to ladle over chips, but also thin enough for just enjoying straight up in a big bowl.
Ingredients
- 2 medium onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 lb 90% lean ground beef
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 qt Nature's Promise Organic Low Sodium Chicken Broth, divided
- 2 (28 oz) cans crushed tomatoes
- 2 (15.5 oz) cans small red beans, rinsed and drained
Steps
- Finely chop the onions and garlic. In a large, heavy-bottom saucepot, heat the oil on medium. Add the onions, garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Cook 5–7 min., until onions are golden, stirring often.
- Add the beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 5 min., until mostly browned, breaking up with back of wooden spoon.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and 3 tbsp broth until smooth. Add the crushed tomatoes, beans, and remaining broth to pot. Heat to a boil on high. Reduce heat and simmer 15 min., until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture and continue simmering 5 min., until thickened. Season with salt to taste.
