Trin for trin

1. 1

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

   Ca. 1 min.

2. 2

   Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes soft and translucent.

   Ca. 7 min.

3. 3

   Add the ground beef to the pot.

   Ca. 1 min.

4. 4

   Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is fully browned, about 8-10 minutes.

   Ca. 10 min.

   Kokkens note: If there's a lot of rendered fat, carefully drain most of it from the pot.

5. 5

   Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper.

   Ca. 1 min.

6. 6

   Cook for about one minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.

   Ca. 1 min.

   Kokkens note: Toasting the spices briefly deepens their flavor.

7. 7

   Add the undrained diced tomatoes, drained stewed tomatoes, undrained diced green chiles, and the tomato sauce to the pot.

   Ca. 2 min.

8. 8

   Stir in the rinsed and drained kidney beans and pinto beans, followed by the beef broth.

   Ca. 2 min.

9. 9

   Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer.

   Ca. 5 min.

10. 10

    Cover the pot and let the chili simmer for at least 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Ca. 1 t. 15 min.

    Kokkens note: A longer simmer time will result in a richer flavor and more tender meat.

11. 11

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed before serving.

    Ca. 1 min.
