Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz (85 g) Onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 lb (450 g) Ground Beef
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) Chili Powder
  • 2.5 tsp (12.5 ml) Ground Cumin
  • 12 oz (340 g) can Diced Tomatoes, with liquid
  • 3 oz (85 g) can Tomato Paste
  • 1 Green Chili, deseeded and minced
  • ½ tbsp . Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) Sea Salt
  • ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • Deglaze the Pot: After browning the meat, pour in a splash of beef broth or water and scrape the bottom of the pot to lift any browned bits. This adds a huge flavor boost and helps prevent a burn notice.
  • Customize the Heat: For a spicier chili, leave some seeds in the green chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper, or include a chopped jalapeño.
  • Perfect Toppings: Serve your chili with a variety of toppings like shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, fresh cilantro, and sliced avocado.
  • Make it Ahead: Chili tastes even better the next day! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It also freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
