Hearty Chili (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil.
02 - 1 large yellow onion, chopped.
03 - 3 jalapeños, chopped.
04 - 5 garlic cloves, minced.
05 - 2.5 pounds ground beef.
06 - 1 1/2 teaspoon salt.
07 - 1 teaspoon black pepper.
08 - 4 tablespoons chili powder.
09 - 1 tablespoon oregano.
10 - 3 tablespoons ground cumin.
11 - 1 teaspoon ground coriander.
12 - 3 ounces tomato paste.
13 - 28 ounces diced tomatoes.
14 - 2 cups beef stock (add more for a thinner consistency).

Instructions:

01 - In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and jalapeños, cooking and stirring regularly until onions are translucent, about 6-8 minutes.
02 - Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
03 - Add the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Break apart the beef, leaving some larger chunks. Cook for 8 minutes, or until the beef is no longer pink. Drain excess grease if necessary.
04 - Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, and coriander to the pot. Stir well and cook for about 1 minute to toast the spices.
05 - Mix in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and beef stock, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
06 - Let the chili cook for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the beef broth reduces and the chili reaches a thick consistency.
07 - Serve with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, diced red onion, chopped green onion, diced jalapeños, salsa, or salsa verde.
