Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1. 1

   Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

2. 2

   Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned, about 8 minutes.

   Yaklaşık 8 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will steam the meat instead of browning it.

3. 3

   Carefully drain off any excess fat from the pot.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

4. 4

   Add the chopped onion and celery to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

5. 5

   Stir in the chili powder, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Toasting the spices briefly helps to release their aromatic oils.

6. 6

   Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, and add the beef bouillon cube. Stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

7. 7

   Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

   Yaklaşık 20 dk.

   Aşçının notu: A longer simmer will develop deeper flavors if you have the time.

8. 8

   Uncover the pot, stir in the rinsed kidney beans and dry macaroni.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

9. 9

   Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is tender, about 10 minutes.

   Yaklaşık 10 dk.

   Aşçının notu: The pasta will absorb some of the liquid, thickening the chili.
