Rehfwitz Weeknight Chili

  • 1 lb. ground beef or turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 (28 oz.) can tomatoes, whole or chopped
  • 1 small can chopped green chiles
  • 3 cans of beans (can be black, Kidney, pinto, Great Northern, Canellini, or a combination)
  • 1 (14.5 oz.) can beef broth
  • 1/4 cup Chili Powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • Kosher salt to taste

In a large saucepan or pot, brown meat with onion, garlic, and pepper; drain fat.  (NOTE: I often brown and freeze meat ahead of time.  If using pre-cooked meat, start the veggies first and then add the meat to warm it up and mix the flavors.)

Add remaining ingredients and simmer 30 minutes to 3 hours.  Freezes very well.
