Mind Blowing Chili Recipe:

Prep Time: 15 minutes 

Cook Time: 1-3 hours

Total Time: 2 hours and 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp avocado oil

• 1 yellow onion, diced

• 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (optional)

• 1 green bell pepper, diced

• 4-6 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 t dried parsley

• 3 tbsp chili powder

• 2 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp oregano

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

• 2 lbs ground beef

• 3 C tomato juice

• 28 oz chopped tomatoes

• 15 oz tomato sauce

• 16 oz kidney beans, drained and rinsed

• 16 oz Chili beans, mild or hot depending on desire

• 1 T brown sugar

• 1 packet sazon goya

• 1/2 t beef bouillon

• 1/2 t chicken bouillon

• Cooked elbow macaroni (if desired)

• Shredded cheese and sour cream for topping

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat oil. Once shimmering, add onion and peppers. Once they are becoming tender, add garlic, parsley, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Allow to toast for about a minute or two.

2. Add in ground beef and continue cooking until cooked through. Then add in beans, tomato juice, tomato sauce, and chopped tomatoes.

3. Mix everything well. Then add in brown sugar, sazon goya, and both bouillons. Bring to a simmer—salt and pepper to taste.

4. Simmer for around 2 hours. You can be done after about an hour, but the longer the better!

NOTES:

• This version isn't super spicy, if you want yours to have a lot of heat, here is what I do when I want a lot of heat: add another jalapeno, 1/2 t cayenne pepper, and 1/2 t white pepper, taste, and if it needs more heat, add more!
