Chunky One Dish Chili

  

Chili is even better the next day reheated, or better yet, make a big batch and freeze some for another night when you don't have time to cook.

 

 

2 tablespoons 

 

olive or vegetable oil

 

1-1/2 pounds 

 

boneless beef chuck, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

 

1

 

large sweet green pepper, coarsely chopped

 

1

 

large sweet red pepper, coarsely chopped

 

1

 

large yellow onion, coarsely chopped

 

1

 

clove garlic, minced

 

1 28 oz can 

 

diced tomatoes, with their juice

 

1 6 oz can 

 

tomato paste

 

1 cup 

 

canned beef broth

 

1 19 oz can 

 

red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

 

1 10 oz package 

 

frozen corn kernels, thawed and drained

 

2 tablespoons 

 

chili powder

 

1/2 teaspoon 

 

ground cumin

 

1/4 teaspoon 

 

ground red pepper (cayenne)

 

 

 

 

1

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over moderately high heat for 1 minute. Add the beef and brown on all sides -- about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large plate lined with paper toweling.

2

Reduce the heat to moderate, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the peppers, and onion to the Dutch oven, and sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, 2 minutes more.

3

Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and red pepper, and bring to a boil. Return the beef to the Dutch oven, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until tender -- about 1 hour. If a thinner sauce is desired, add a little water.
