Author

Equipment
- Dutch Oven or large pot
- Slotted Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 stalks celery diced
- 2 bell pepper I use green and yellow
- 1 13- ounce can black beans
- 1 13- ounce can kidney beans
- 28 oz No-Salt-Added Diced Tomatoes
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tbsp cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 limes juiced
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or large pot, add the ground sirloin. Break it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon and brown the sirloin over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until all the pink is gone. With a slotted spoon, remove the meat, and drain most of the grease from the bottom of the pot. Leave about 1 tablespoon to sauté the vegetables.
- To the pot, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 7 or 8 minutes until soft. Add the celery and bell peppers, and sauté for 3 more minutes.
- Add the black beans and kidney beans to the pot. Then add diced tomatoes with juice, and add the cooked meat back into the pot.
- Add spices to the pot: Chili powder, oregano, cumin, and chili flakes. Simmer all on low for 1 hour until veggies are tender.
- Before serving squeeze fresh lime juice in the chili. Serve with your favorite chili toppings (I like tomatoes and sour cream) and fresh chopped cilantro. Store leftovers for up to 4 days in the fridge.
