Dallas Chili

Ingredients:
– 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 2 tablespoons cooking oil
– 1 large onion, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 bell peppers, seeded and chopped
– 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
– 2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
– 2 tablespoons chili powder
– 1 tablespoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions

Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

2. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and kidney beans. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

5. Season the chili with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to incorporate the spices evenly.

6. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

7. After 1 hour, taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can simmer the chili for an additional 15-20 minutes uncovered.

8. Serve the Dallas Chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or chopped green onions. Enjoy with a side of cornbread or tortilla chips for a complete meal!
