Beanless Beef Chili

Made this chili one night when Normy was at a friend’s house watching football! I decided to do a beanless chili as I don’t like beans!

You will need:
about 2 pounds of ground beef for chili 93% Lean 7% Fat
1 Green bell pepper, chopped
1 Red bell pepper, chopped
2 29 oz cans of tomato sauce
1 28 oz can of San Marzano whole tomatoes, chopped
one red onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 14.5 oz cans of fire roasted tomatoes
2 10 oz cans of regular rotel (you could do spicy if that is what you like)
large can of tomato paste
(I have a can of beef broth in the picture, but I ended up not using it)

OK now for the spices
You will need:
chili powder
ground coriander
ground cumin
Freeze dried Oregano
Smoked Paprika
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
dried red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
dried parsley flakes
Fresh ground black pepper

so get you a nice big deep pot, I used my dutch oven (of course) and preheated it to medium high heat and added the ground beef and salt and pepper

brown for a few minutes then break the meat up

you can break it up into smaller chunks or bigger I did in between to make it feel like more of a rustic chili

Cook until its all browned and then add in the diced, red onion

cook the onion until translucent 7-10 minutes

then add in the minced garlic, I cleared a little of the meat and onion so the garlic would hit the heat directly

and cook for about a minute and stir into the meat and onion

Then add in your red and green bell peppers

stir those in and cook them for about 5-7 minutes

add a little more salt and pepper, to taste

then add in the Rotel

The add in the fire roasted tomatoes

stir everything together

Then add in the tomato sauce

stir everything together

add in the chili powder

add all the spices, by taste

ground cumin
coriander seed
cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
Freeze dried oregano
Smoked Paprika
Onion salt
red pepper flakes
garlic salt

Stir all the spices in

I also added in about a tablespoon of light brown sugar

Then add in the chopped San Marzano tomatoes. I just placed the whole canned tomatoes on a cutting board and chopped them up and added them to a bowl and then added them to the chili

Stir everything together so everything is incorporated well.

simmer chili on medium heat for about 30-45 minutes until chili is warmed through

Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.

Then grate some cheese. I used my favorite cheese ever…

Serve yourself a bowl of chili with some grated cheese on top

and sour cream too

and there you go. Beanless chili a la Jamie
