Cooking Time:

Total Time:

1-2 hours 20 min

Servings:

6-8

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup (120 mL) white onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 lb (700 g) lean or extra lean ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) chilli powder
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) smoked paprika
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) brown sugar
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) dried oregano
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 cans (28 oz) no added salt diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) no added salt kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup (250 mL) frozen corn
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) tomato paste
  • 4 cups (1 Litre) low-sodium broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large pot, or instant pot to medium high heat. Add oil, onions and garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to tenderize onions and get all the aromatics happy.
  2. Add ground beef to the hot skillet. As it cooks, break apart with a wooden spoon until well crumbled.
  3. Season with chilli powder, paprika, brown sugar, oregano and  crushed red pepper flakes. Continue to cook mixture until beef mixture is fully cooked and lightly caramelized. Add red peppers, cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Set heat to low and add the remaining ingredients. Stir well. Cover and allow chilli to simmer for 1-2 hours. If using an instant pot, use simmer function for 1-2 hours. If transferring chilli to a slow-cooker, use low heat and set timer for 1-2 hours. No matter the cooking method, be sure to monitor the liquid level and add splashes of extra water or broth if needed.
  5. Before serving, taste test and adjust any seasoning, if needed.
  6. Serve hot and garnish with awesome toppings, such as: fresh chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeño, creamy Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, diced avocado, fresh lime, tortilla chips etc. Then, enjoy!
