Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 pound extra lean ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chopped stewed tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pot. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the stewed tomatoes, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, and salt.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Add the pinto beans and continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a milder chili, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper.
  • This chili can be made ahead and reheated; it often tastes better the next day.
