I made this to use in a chili cheese dip: https://www.cherylsrecipes.net/recipe/chili-cheese-dip/
I learned that this is a Texas style chili because it has no beans. Personally, I prefer my chili with beans, but this works fantastic in this dip!
- 2 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 large chopped onion
- 1 large sweet pepper diced
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic finely diced or minced
- 2-3 T. jalapeno peppers finely diced
- 2 T. avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 T. chili powder
- 1 T. Montreal steak seasoning or your choice of steak seasoning
- 1 T. ground cumin
- 1 T. paprika
- 1 T. Worcestershire sauce I use Lea & Perrin's because some other brands contain soy
- 1 1/2 T. Better than Bouillon organic beef base Omit this for Whole30
- 30 oz. crushed tomatoes
- Pinch unsweetened cocoa powder
- Splash of hot sauce Frank's Red Hot
- Brown beef with onions, sweet pepper, jalapenos and garlic in the oil. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for a couple of hours. Add water as needed for the consistency that you desire.
- Serve with desired condiments: corn chips, cheese, sour cream, green onions, cilantro, etc.
If you don't have beef base, just use beef broth in place of the beef base and water. Just read ingredients first if you have food allergies!
