Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. canola oil
  • 4 lbs lean ground beef
  • 2 medium onions chopped
  • 4 16 oz. kidney beans rinsed and drained
  • 3 14 ½ oz. stewed tomatoes cut up
  • 1 14 ½ oz. beef broth
  • 3 tbsp. chili powder
  • 2 tbsp. ground coriander
  • 2 tbsp. ground cumin
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 green pepper diced

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat canola oil over medium heat. 
  • Due to how many lbs of hamburger you will be using, brown the beef in batches so it all cooks evenly.
  • Crumble the meat throughout cooking and cook until no longer pink and then drain.
  • Add the ground beef back into the Dutch oven and add in the onions and green pepper and cook until they are tender.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat; simmer covered, until the flavors are blended for about 1 ½ hours.
  • Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

This makes equivalent to four quarts of chili. You can make more or less depending on how many people you will be feeding.
