This is a longtime family recipe. When it’s really cold outside, I love a big bowl of hearty chili. It has to have beans and it has to have meat to fully satisfy me. It goes extremely well with a nice crusty cornbread too.
Chili is something so comforting to bubble on the stove on a cold day. It’s also a great one-pot wonder.
In a large pot or skillet over medium high heat, use a wooden spoon to brown and break up your ground meat.
When the meat is browned, drain any liquid/grease off of the meat. Return the pan to the heat and add the olive oil.
Next add the celery and onion and stir to combine. Allow to cook for about 3 minutes until they just start to soften.
Add in the diced tomatoes, garlic, jalapeno peppers, and tomato juice. Stir to combine.
Add in the cayenne pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano and salt and give the pot a big stir. Allow it to simmer on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
Rinse and drain your canned beans. Add the rinsed beans to the pot and give it a good stir. Allow the chili to simmer another 10 minutes to warm the beans.
After the 10 minutes, check the celery to verify it’s done. It should be tender and this will be your signal that the chili is done.
Top with diced onion and shredded cheese and serve with warm cornbread. Tastes even better the next day!
