This tried-and-true recipe produces a robust and savory Texas-style chili, brimming with authentic flavors. It's an ideal choice for cozying up on cold evenings or sharing the warmth and joy of a homemade meal with friends and family gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4.5 lbs Ground Meat
- 2 Cups Chopped Onion
- 8 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Can Dark Beer
- 16 oz Tomato Sauce
- 6 tbsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Hot Sauce
- 4 tbsp Cumin
- 4 tbsp Beef Bulion
- 1 tbsp Chicken Bulion
- 4 tsp Paprika
- 4 tsp Brown Sugar
- 2 Packages Sazen Goya
- 300 mL Beef Broth
Instructions
- Begin by browning the ground meat in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, dark beer, tomato sauce, and beef broth to the pot with the browned meat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- While the mixture simmers, prepare the remaining ingredients. If you prefer, you can mix the dry ingredients (chili powder, cumin, beef and chicken bouillon, paprika, brown sugar, and Sazon Goya) in a bowl beforehand for easier incorporation.
- After 3 hours, give the chili a taste test. Adjust the seasoning as needed, particularly the cumin, to suit your taste preferences. If you add more cumin, continue to simmer the chili for an additional thirty minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once the chili reaches your desired flavor and consistency, it's ready to serve! Ladle it into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, chopped green onions, or a dollop of sour cream.
Notes
- Adjust the chili's consistency to your liking by controlling the lid: for a thicker texture, simply remove the lid; for a thinner consistency, keep the lid on.
- Remember to stir the mixture frequently to ensure even cooking.
- To prepare a smaller batch, scale down the ingredients accordingly for best results.
