NOTE
you will need a large pot and this can serve like 12 people
Ingredients
2 pounds or 1 kilogram of ground beef ( I used lean cause that is what I had)
you may need a little oil to fry your meat if it is really lean
2 stalks of celery thinly very thinly sliced (so they add flavor but melt away into the sauce cause I don't see them in the sauce )
2 small or one large onion diced small dices
2 large green bell peppers diced
3 large tomatoes diced small as well not tiny but small
3 table spoons of chili powder
2 tsp of ground cumin
1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper
2 tsp of minced garlic
1/4 tsp of pepper
1/2 -1 tsp of sea salt
3 tsp of sugar
2 table spoons of tomato paste
1 can of diced tomatoes 796 mls or 28-29 oz can
1 can of red kidney beans. 796 mls or 28-29 Oz can
( some say leave liquid of the can of beans in and some say no so I will leave that Orr up to you 🤗)
1 can of pinto beans 796 mls or 28-29 Oz
2 cups of beef broth
Method ( I basically cooked everything over medium heat until I needed to simmer)
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat if you need oil for your beef. Press ground beef into the hot oil to form ; let the bottom brown, 7-9 minutes or so don't break apart the beef too much so it is like chunks of patties in the pot. Stir breaking the ground beef into crumbles and large bits and cook until no longer pink, about 5 more minutes.
Stir celery, onion, add all your spices mix through for like 30 seconds to bloom the spices. Add tomato paste mix for about 30 seconds to a minute add green bell pepper and tomatoes into ground beef as well and cook about 5 minutes; pour in your can tomatoes, and beef broth. Mix well and scrape bottom of pot to make sure you are getting all the bits if any in the pot.
Mix kidney beans and pinto beans ( with their juices) and simmer partly covered stirring about every 15 minutes to make sure nothing is sticking to bottom of pot. simmer for 2-3 hours and you will be amazed at the results
Hop you try and enjoy if you like Wendy's chili
