Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 jar salsa
  • 1 28 oz can of crushed tomotoes
  • 1 12 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cans dark kidney beans
  • 1/3 cup chili powder
  • 2 tbsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce I used Cholula
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp steak sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 oz tomato paste

Optional toppings:

  • sour cream
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • chives

Instructions

Directions:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef, onions and green peppers. Brown the meat and cook until veggies have softened.
  • Add in all other ingredients besides the water and tomato paste. Measure out 1 cup of water in a liquid measuring cup. Add the tomato paste to the water and whisk to combine. Add that to the pot with the other ingredients. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Top with whatever ingredients you like! I top mine with sour cream, cheddar cheese and chives.

Notes

If you don't like heat, I would recommend taking the chili powder down to 1/4 cup and foregoing the hot sauce.
