Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat as it cooks.

  2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and red bell pepper to the pot with the cooked beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), kidney beans, tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the chili to a simmer.

  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the chili cook for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  5. After the chili has simmered and thickened to your desired consistency, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

  6. Serve the Pennsylvania Dutch Chili hot in bowls, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro for added freshness and flavor.

  7. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful chili with your favorite cornbread or crusty bread on the side.
